💬 Editor's take

Sanctuary Phoenix is the world's most advanced humanoid on fine manipulation. Sanctuary AI, based in Vancouver, has focused on the hands (38 DOF total, most of it in the fingers). First commercial pilot: Canadian Tire, where Phoenix runs a checkout and stocks shelves. Different bet from competitors: not walking or running, but manual precision.

Botoide Score

3.3/ 5

"Fine-manipulation specialist — 38 degrees of freedom, especially in the hands. Very promising for dexterity-heavy tasks (checkout, light assembly). Still a young product with little field feedback beyond pilots."
