Sanctuary AI

Sanctuary AI is a Vancouver-based robotics company on a mission to create the world’s first human-like intelligence in general-purpose robots. Founded in 2018, the company takes a unique approach by developing its proprietary Carbon AI control system, which serves as the cognitive architecture enabling its robots to understand, reason about, and interact with the physical world in a human-like manner.

The company’s humanoid robots are designed to perform a wide range of tasks across various industries, from retail to logistics. Sanctuary AI emphasizes the importance of hand dexterity and manipulation, equipping its robots with highly capable hands that can handle objects with precision comparable to human hands. This focus on dexterous manipulation is critical for general-purpose applications where robots must interact with tools, products, and environments designed for human use.

Sanctuary AI has attracted significant investment and partnerships with major corporations looking to deploy humanoid robots in real-world commercial settings. The company’s approach of combining advanced AI with purpose-built hardware, along with its Canadian base of engineering talent, positions it as a key player in the North American humanoid robotics ecosystem.
