Sanctuary AI

Sanctuary AI has been low-key building one of the most capable robotic hands in the industry, and their recent zero-shot in-hand manipulation demo proves it — their robot hit target orientations 10 consecutive times without any task-specific training, which is genuinely hard to do at that success rate. They've been around for a while quietly accumulating real traction in industrial and research settings, and unlike some humanoid companies that are mostly CGI and investor decks, these guys actually ship hardware that works. For anyone watching the physical AI space, they're a dark horse worth tracking — not because of hype, but because the manipulation capabilities are at a level that matters for actual deployment.
