SE01
EngineAIThe SE01 is a humanoid robot developed by EngineAI Robotics (Shenzhen, China), standing 1.7 m tall and weighing 55 kg, designed for industrial tasks such as heavy lifting and precision assembly, as well as education, customer service, and research. It became available for global sales on December 24, 2024, at a promotional price of 88,000 yuan (approximately $12,000 USD), with a production target of 1,000 units across all models by end of 2025. The robot features a neural network and natural gait, but its actual autonomy level remains unconfirmed — independent sources explicitly note uncertainty about whether it is remotely controlled. EngineAI has raised approximately 1 billion yuan in funding from investors including Huangpu River Capital, Huirong Fund, and TH Capital.

Evidence-graded claims from the EngineAI deep report
EngineAI's research demonstrates a universal locomotion policy that generalizes zero-shot across 12 simulated and 7 real-world humanoid robots.
Independent arXiv paper [21] (peer-reviewed preprint) documents the cross-humanoid locomotion policy with zero-shot transfer results across the stated number of simulated and real-world platforms, though real-world task complexity tested remains limited to locomotion only.
from EngineAI deep report →The PM01 humanoid robot is available globally for commercial and educational use at a promotional price of approximately $12,000 USD, with sales beginning December 24, 2024.
The Robot Report [3] (independent trade press) confirms the December 24, 2024 global launch and the 88,000 RMB (~$12,000 USD) promotional price, corroborated by a YouTube review [5]; however, actual customer deployment outcomes and volume sold remain unverified.
from EngineAI deep report →EngineAI's research demonstrates jumping capability of 1.1 m long jump and 0.5 m vertical/box jump on a humanoid robot platform.
Independent arXiv paper [20] documents the variable reduction ratio knee joint design enabling these specific jumping metrics on a physical robot, though the paper is a preprint and the results have not been replicated by an external lab.
from EngineAI deep report →
Duolun Technology has agreed to purchase over 2,000 EngineAI humanoid robots over three years for deployment in public security, traffic management, and retail.
Gasgoo Autonews [13] reports the partnership and purchase commitment, but this is a single trade-press source with no independent verification of contract terms, delivery schedules, or actual robots deployed to date.
from EngineAI deep report →The T800's promotional demo footage was authentic and not computer-generated imagery (CGI).
EngineAI released behind-the-scenes footage [22] as a rebuttal to CGI accusations, but this is self-produced company content and no independent technical forensic analysis or third-party journalist verification of the footage's authenticity has been documented in the dossier.

EngineAI's humanoid robots exhibit natural, human-like walking gaits indistinguishable from human movement.
An independent arXiv study [19] using a Motion Turing Test framework explicitly finds that humanoid robot motions — including those from EngineAI-affiliated research — still exhibit noticeable deviations from human movements, particularly in dynamic actions like jumping, boxing, and running.
