Sanctuary AI Releases New Generation of AI Robots for High Quality Data Capture
Sanctuary AI presents the eighth generation of its Phoenix general purpose AI humanoid robots. This new generation of Phoenix robots is optimized for capturing high quality data, with improvements to field of view and telemetry systems, and enhanced person-robot interaction. Phoenix Generation 8 was also designed with manufacturing in mind, with additional improvements in bill of materials costs and the simplicity of its design, making it quicker to commission and build.
This new update comes less than eight months after we announced the seventh generation of our Phoenix robots, highlighting the speed at which our team and technology are progressing. Phoenix Generation 8 is designed to be the most versatile and safe way to deliver meaningful labor. It has a wheeled base, which is a design decision informed by Sanctuary customer feedback that bi-pedal legs are too frail to support a strong torso that is needed to carry out useful work precisely and safely. Key improvements include:
Improvements to telemetry system for enhanced data capture and training
Improvements to both the depth and vision cameras which increases the field of view and resolution
Improvements to Phoenix’s sensor suite and audio and video system
Improvements in cost savings and design, allowing for increased speed of manufacturing and commissioning time
With this new generation of Phoenix, Sanctuary will be able to provide their AI control system with some of the highest quality, highest fidelity training data available. This is a critical step on the path to artificial general intelligence. By using detailed training data, it will ground AI in the physical world and enable systems to understand and learn from real world experience. Sanctuary general purpose technology is strong, smart, and capable enough to carry out work like a person, helping to give people back the most valuable resource of all—time.
