Sanctuary Phoenix vs Figure 03
Verdict
A contest over hand dexterity. The seventh-generation Phoenix from Canada's Sanctuary AI (170 cm, 70 kg, 25 kg payload) builds on exceptionally capable hands and the Carbon system for learning manual tasks; Figure 03 bets on overall versatility and the Helix AI model. Facts vs hype: Phoenix is positioned as a specialist in fine manipulation, Figure 03 as a general-purpose humanoid for both industry and the home.
