Sanctuary AI

Sanctuary AI reports a completed week-long robot pilot at Canadian Tire-owned Mark's in Langley, with 110 retail tasks tested successfully including picking, packing, tagging, folding and cleaning.

Sanctuary AI secured its first commercial purchase order in 2026 from a global Tier 1 automotive supplier after validating 99.5%+ task success at industrial line speed for wire-harness insertion.

Sanctuary AI's TIGER method converts imitation-policy action chunks into controller-aware end-effector references and uses pose-alignment rewards with bounded failure returns, followed by offline actor-critic pretraining. The publication evaluates simulated manipulation and FR3 tasks, providing a distinct control and learning method rather than another general dexterity claim.

Sanctuary AI develops hardware-agnostic Physical AI for dexterous, dynamic industrial work across different robotic embodiments, with advanced manipulation, sensing and control capabilities.

Sanctuary AI announced the successful closing of a C$75.5 million (US$58.5 million) Series A financing, with investors including Bell, Evok Innovations, Export Development Canada, Magna, SE Health, Verizon Ventures and Workday Ventures. This completed historical financing is distinct from the existing industrial-deployment evidence.

Sanctuary AI has moved from demonstrations into paid industrial deployment and is positioning its Physical AI stack for deployment on existing and future robotic hardware.

Sanctuary AI documents tactile sensors integrated into Phoenix robots to support teleoperation of touch-driven manipulation and collect richer behavioral data for embodied AI model development.

Work at Sanctuary spans manipulation, sensing, control, embodied AI, industrial robotics and multi-embodiment Physical AI, creating highly transferable robotics skills with some industrial specialization.
