EngineAI Releases Humanoid Robot PM01 for $12,000

In 2024, EngineAI Robotics made significant advances in the field of humanoid robotics, marking a major milestone with the launch of PM01, a versatile, lightweight, dynamic robot that stands 1.38 meters tall, weighs 40 kilograms, and has 24 degrees of freedom. It can reach speeds of up to 2 meters per second and has a 320-degree rotating waist for complex movements. It also offers two walking modes - mechanical gait and natural gait - and an Iron Man-inspired control interface that combines creativity and functionality for easy input of commands and access to information.

Technically, the PM01 stands out from competitors such as the Tesla Optimus with superior open-source capabilities, compatibility, dynamic performance, power output and hardware stability.The PM01 utilizes NVIDIA's Jetson Orin high-performance module, which is based on the X86 architecture and supports cross-platform algorithmic deployments, enhancing its performance in complex applications.

EngineAI Robotics has a significant presence in Shenzhen. Launched in October 2024, the company's SE01 humanoid robot combines advanced neural networks and “natural” gait technology, and is available globally in both commercial and educational versions for RMB 88,000.1 The company's SE01 humanoid robot has been in the market for over a decade, and is now the first of its kind to be launched in China.

The company is not alone in this regard. Competitors such as Fourier and UBTECH are also advancing humanoid robotics, while China's National Humanoid Robotics Local Joint Innovation Center has launched a data-sharing program to support local development.
