01 Classification
What each one does on its own.
The Autonomy Ladder is the same five rungs for every robot on the site. A rung describes the conditions a robot handles without you, not how good it is.
V
Generalized
Any task, any setting
IV
Environmental
Handles new obstacles without help
III
Conditional
Finishes familiar jobs on its own
II
Assisted
Runs preset routines, needs rescue

02 Assessment
Where they actually differ.
The Robovations Score is nine inputs across three pillars, each weighted as shown and each scored so that more is better. A robot can lead on one and trail on another, which is the point of showing them apart. Cost of ownership and data handling are reported on each robot's own page and are never averaged into the score.
None of these robots carries a scored assessment yet, so there is nothing to plot here. The classification and evidence below still apply.
03 Measured against the class
How far apart is a long way?
A number only means something next to the spread it sits in. Each track below is the real range across every classified robot in the class, with the median marked.
These robots share no measured specification with enough published figures to plot. That is a gap in the record, not a finding about the robots.
04 Ownership
What the numbers leave out.
The trade-off
What each design gives up to be good at what it is good at.
Galaxea R1
R1 ships with genuinely open tooling, datasets, ROS2, and an SDK, that lowers the barrier for outside researchers to build on it, but the same teleoperation-centric training approach that enables this openness means no specific task is independently confirmed as autonomous.
A concrete, Forbes-reported price range ($44,500-$64,000) is unusually specific for an early-stage humanoid platform, but it applies to an enterprise or research sale, not a consumer purchase, and could not be cross-checked against the manufacturer’s own site.
Sanctuary AI Phoenix Gen 7
Dexterous hands enable fine object manipulation, but the operator-dependent model keeps Phoenix Gen 7 a remote tool rather than an autonomous agent.
Who each one is wrong for
Stated by the record itself. A robot being wrong for a household is a fact about fit, not a fault.
Galaxea R1
- Any consumer or household use
- Not sold to consumers; purchasable only by research institutions and enterprises, per every source reviewed.
- Buyers seeking confirmed autonomous task completion
- No independent source confirms R1 completing any specific task without human teleoperation; the vendor's own training method relies on direct human control of the arm.
- Buyers needing to verify specifications against the manufacturer's own site
- galaxea.ai was unreachable during this review (expired SSL certificate); specification claims here rely on a retailer listing, an unofficial user-guide mirror, and independent press.
Sanctuary AI Phoenix Gen 7
- Consumer home automation or residential users
- No consumer release, home-safety certification, or residential app-based control published, and Sanctuary's stated direction does not include one. Not positioned for household use or untrained operators.
- Organizations requiring autonomous operation
- Current platform relies on operator fallback and scripted sequences. Does not meet Level III self-directed task completion standards for unscripted environments.
- Buyers seeking documented maintenance and repair costs
- No field service plans, consumable pricing, joint-replacement intervals, or vendor support documentation available. Maintenance burden unquantified.
What stays your job
The upkeep ownership hands back to you, whatever the autonomy level says.

Not recorded for this robot.
Sanctuary AI Phoenix Gen 7
- Daily: Charging via dock or direct connector; estimated duration not published.
- Weekly: Joint lubrication inspection for hand and arm actuators; grease type not disclosed.
- Monthly: Sensor calibration for onboard cameras and IMU drift compensation.
- Every 3-6 months: Cable and connector inspection, contact cleaning on tele-op receivers.
- As needed: Software firmware updates for bug fixes and operator interface improvements; downtime unknown.
- Annually: Joint stiffness assessment and potential actuator replacement if performance degrades; cost and availability unquantified.
05 Evidence
How much each of these is standing on.
Classifications rest on different depths of evidence. A pre-release assessment and a verified one are not the same kind of claim.
