Microsoft and Sanctuary AI Collaborate to Advance General-Purpose Robots

Microsoft has unveiled a strategic partnership with Sanctuary AI to enhance AI capabilities for general-purpose robots, prominently featuring Sanctuary’s humanoid, Phoenix. Under this collaboration, Sanctuary AI will leverage Microsoft’s Azure cloud services to develop sophisticated “Large Behavior Models” (LBMs), designed to help AI systems learn from direct real-world interactions. This initiative will propel AI advancements across several sectors, including automotive and manufacturing, signaling Microsoft’s deepening commitment to the future of humanoid robotics. This follows Microsoft’s investment in Figure Robotics, a key player in the same field. In addition to Microsoft’s collaboration with Sanctuary AI, other companies in the robotics and AI space such as Knightscope, Inc. (NASDAQ:KSCP), Artificial Intelligence Technology Solutions Inc. (OTCMKTS:AITX), Wrap Technologies Inc (NASDAQ:WRAP), Evolv Technologies Holdings Inc (NASDAQ:EVLV), and SoundThinking Inc (NASDAQ:SSTI) are making strides in advancing technology for various industries.

Murphy VA Medical Center in San Antonio, Texas, in collaboration with the US Department of Veterans Affairs. This marks an important milestone in Knightscope‘s expansion journey.

Following three years of dedicated efforts, Knightscope earned an Authority to Operate from FedRAMP, paving the way for broader adoption of its technologies across various federal departments and agencies. The designation of “K5 GOV” signifies a revamped hardware and software architecture tailored to meet rigorous U.S. Federal Government standards, streamlining adoption and procurement processes for agencies.

William Santana Li, Chairman and CEO of Knightscope, expressed gratitude to the company’s tireless team and emphasized their commitment to supporting the nation’s veterans. 

Knightscope‘s K5 GOV is now accessible through the GSA Schedule, facilitated by their veteran-owned small business partner, MediaNow Inc.
