Sanctuary AI

Sanctuary AIとは？

Sanctuary AI provides a Physical AI platform for industrial automation, enabling robotic systems to perform dexterous, dynamic tasks that are difficult to automate with conventional approaches. Its current deployments use commercially available industrial arms and task-specific end effectors.

The company works with industrial customers to identify tasks, collect demonstration data, and develop autonomous control policies. Its broader hardware roadmap includes hydraulic robotic hands, mobile manipulation, and future industrial humanoids, with different configurations at different stages of development.

Sanctuary AIでできること

Data collection and policy development

Provides end-to-end infrastructure for collecting task data, developing autonomous policies, and scaling Physical AI across industrial workflows.

Industrial robot integration

Integrates with FANUC and Universal Robots, supporting single-arm and two-arm configurations with custom or off-the-shelf grippers.

Task-specific tooling

Develops custom end effectors when standard tooling falls short. Supported approaches include low-degree-of-freedom grippers and vacuum tools tailored to the task.

Complex manipulation

Enables industrial arms to handle dexterous and dynamic work using learned policies. The platform targets tasks that conventional automation struggles to perform reliably.

Hydraulic hand development

Its robotic hands combine 17 degrees of freedom with tactile sensing for precise manipulation. Hydraulic actuation supports grip force and fine control in a compact hand; this hardware remains in development.

利用シーン

“Automotive assembly”

Helps automotive manufacturers and Tier 1 and 2 suppliers automate complex assembly and material handling, including wire plug insertion.

“Electronics production”

Develops automation for repetitive, high-precision work across semiconductor, consumer, automotive, and industrial electronics manufacturing.

“Warehouse fulfillment”

Applies robotic automation to picking, sorting, and material movement in warehouses and distribution centers.

“Pharmaceutical logistics”

Supports handling small, varied items for pill and vial sorting, order fulfillment, and packaging in healthcare distribution environments.

よくある質問

How does a deployment begin?

Sanctuary AI invites commercial inquiries and works collaboratively with customers to identify suitable tasks, collect data, and build autonomous policies for their workflows.

What performance has Sanctuary AI reported?

For a challenging wire plug insertion task, Sanctuary AI reports 99.5% model performance, a 2.54-second cycle time per plug, and 5.5 hours of teleoperation data. These figures describe that task example rather than a guarantee for every deployment.

Are mobile robots and humanoids available now?

The current offering deploys industrial robotic arms. Autonomous mobile robots are being trained in the lab, with mobility pilots planned. Hydraulic hands are also approaching pilot programs, while industrial humanoids remain a future configuration.
