Vancouver-based Sanctuary AI has unveiled dexterous robotic hands with 21 degrees of freedom, a milestone in general-purpose robotics. The hands, capable of in-hand manipulation, were developed using miniaturized hydraulic valves, offering unmatched speed, strength, and durability.
Interim CEO James Wells emphasized the significance: “Dexterity expands the market for humanoid robots.” Sanctuary’s robot, Phoenix, powered by the AI system Carbon, is seen as a breakthrough in human-like intelligence. In 2024, Sanctuary achieved a capital raise, a Microsoft partnership, and deployments at Manga facilities. The company, founded in 2018, continues to pioneer robotics innovation.
