Phoenix at Langley, BC, Canada

Sanctuary AI's Phoenix is a general-purpose humanoid combining a bipedal physical platform with the proprietary Carbon AI cognitive architecture. The Gen 6 specification (May 2023, the last published numerical sheet) describes a robot standing 170 cm tall, weighing 70 kg, with 20-DOF hands, 25 kg payload, and 1.34 m/s top speed.

Commercially piloted since May 2023 at Canadian Tire and Mark's retail locations, and subsequently with Magna International (2024) and an unnamed global Tier 1 automotive supplier (wire plug insertion at 99.5-plus percent success rate, 2026). Gen 8 was announced January 2025 as the current data-collection generation.
