Mixed - some data on-device, some in cloud
This robot uses a hybrid approach where some data is processed locally on the device and some is sent to cloud servers. The level of EU data protection depends on what data stays local versus what is transmitted. Sensitive data like camera feeds may be processed on-device while usage analytics go to the cloud. Review the manufacturer's privacy policy for specifics on what data goes where.
How to keep it private
Carbon AI inference requires a GPU cluster, indicating significant cloud or server-side processing. Cloud connectivity is needed for task learning, skill updates, and teleoperation fallback. Phoenix is described as one of the most sophisticated behavioral data capture technologies, suggesting continuous data collection. Fully offline operation is not documented.
Available privacy controls
