Sanctuary AI

SKU: sanctuary-ai

Founded in 2018, Sanctuary AI is a Vancouver-based company on a mission to create and deploy millions of industrial-grade humanoid robots to help address growing labor challenges. Their robots, powered by the proprietary AI control system Carbon™, are designed to mimic human movement and cognitive processes, enabling them to perform a wide range of tasks across industries such as automotive, manufacturing, and logistics. Sanctuary AI's approach focuses on developing general-purpose robots that can work alongside humans, enhancing safety, efficiency, and sustainability in the workplace.

Addressing labor shortages in industries requiring manual tasks.
Automating dull, dirty, or dangerous jobs to improve workplace safety.
Enhancing operational efficiency in manufacturing and logistics.
Advancing research in AI, robotics, and human-machine collaboration.
Sanctuary AI's Phoenix demonstrates high-level autonomy through its Carbon™ AI system enabling autonomous task execution under supervision, real-time environmental adaptation via sensor fusion, and machine learning algorithms for decision-making. However, teleoperation remains integral for training data collection and complex task refinement, as seen in their YouTube demonstrations. The system autonomously handles 40% of retail tasks but requires human oversight for novel scenarios, placing it between supervised and conditional autonomy tiers.
