About

Sanctuary AI builds industrial-grade humanoid robots designed to address critical labor challenges across multiple industries. The company develops general-purpose robots with human-like dexterity, tactile feedback, and fine manipulation capabilities that enable machines to work alongside people in automotive, manufacturing, and logistics environments. Phoenix, the company's flagship robot, represents the world's first humanoid general-purpose robot powered by a proprietary AI control system that mimics human movement and cognitive processes.

Founded in 2018 and headquartered in Vancouver, Canada, Sanctuary AI creates embodied AI systems that learn from and interact with the world as humans do. The company ranks third globally in humanoid robotics patents and focuses on developing dexterous intelligence for autonomous labor. Sanctuary's technology aims to secure the continued flourishing of civilization by deploying robots that can perform dull, dirty, and dangerous jobs, allowing declining populations to maintain quality of life while addressing the ongoing global labor crisis.
