Sanctuary AI

Sanctuary AI, founded in Vancouver, Canada, in 2018, focuses on creating general-purpose humanoid robots capable of human-like intelligence. The company's flagship product, Phoenix, is the world's first humanoid robot powered by the proprietary Carbo AI system, enabling it to autonomously perform tasks like a human. Sanctuary AI was established by industry pioneers who previously founded D-Wave (quantum computing) and Kindred (reinforcement learning). The company aims to address global labor shortages and improve workplace safety and efficiency across industries like manufacturing, logistics, and healthcare. Sanctuary AI has raised US$140 million in funding to date, including contributions from Bell, Verizon Ventures, and the Canadian government
