Best-in-class hand dexterity for teleop and autonomy.
Phoenix is Sanctuary AI's flagship humanoid, driven by the Carbon control system, and Gen 7 emphasizes hand dexterity — 21 degrees of freedom per hand — for fine manipulation and high-quality teleoperation data collection. Phoenix was built as a research and data-capture platform, never sold as a product, so it has no public price (the figure shown is an estimate). In mid-2026 Sanctuary pivoted to deploying its Physical AI and robotic hands on third-party industrial robot arms — hitting a 99.5%+ success rate on an automotive wire-plugging task in one proof of concept — while it develops a wheeled eighth-generation Phoenix.

Sanctuary AI builds dexterous general-purpose robots driven by its Carbon control system. In mid-2026, under CEO Daniel Friedmann, it shifted to a hardware-agnostic 'Physical AI' strategy — deploying its models and robotic hands on other companies' existing industrial robot arms rather than only its own humanoid — while continuing to develop the next, wheeled generation of its Phoenix platform.
