Sanctuary AI Phoenix Gen 7

Phoenix Gen 7 is the seventh generation of Sanctuary AI's general-purpose humanoid. Sanctuary announced it in April 2024, describing hardware changes and upgrades to its Carbon AI control system. The company said the robot had increased uptime, faster build and commissioning, a lower bill of materials, and more range of motion in the wrists, hands and elbows. It said the hydraulics had been miniaturized to cut weight, power use and complexity.

Sanctuary's main claim for this generation concerns learning speed: it says new tasks can now be automated in less than 24 hours, where the time previously went from weeks. TechCrunch reported the claim without independent measurement and noted that the demo tasks were relatively simple and staged in a controlled setting.

The release did not publish height, weight, payload, speed or degrees of freedom for Gen 7. The product line has since moved on, so this page lists Gen 7 as discontinued.
