Carbon AI Control System - Human-Level Intelligence in General-Purpose Robots

Content

Sanctuary AI Phoenix: Humanoid Robot for General-Purpose Autonomy Sanctuary AI has developed Phoenix, a humanoid robot designed for general-purpose manual labor. The robot features humanlike hands with 20 degrees of freedom and proprietary haptic technology that mimics human touch. Technical Design: 1. Humanlike Form: Standing at 5'7" and weighing 155 pounds, Phoenix has a bipedal form factor similar to humans. 2. Dexterous Manipulation: 20-DOF robotic hands rival human hand dexterity for complex manipulation tasks. 3. Teleoperation Foundation: Initial deployments use teleoperation to collect human movement data for autonomous skill development. 4. Cognitive Architecture: Sanctuary's Carbon control system is inspired by cognitive science models of human cognition. Development Approach: Sanctuary takes a unique approach to developing autonomous skills by first teleoperating robots to collect task data, then gradually automating repeated subtasks. This data-driven approach leverages human demonstration to build general-purpose robot capabilities. Autonomous Vehicle Application: Phoenix is currently deployed on a wheeled autonomous base, with bipedal locomotion under development. The robot has been commercially deployed in a retail setting, completing 110 retail-related tasks.
