These robots offer a versatile framework for developers to expand their interactions with the physical world. Particularly notable are the SA01 and PM01 models, which act as open platforms for the further development and implementation of bodily intelligence technologies.
From January 7 to 10, 2025, Shenzhen-based EngineAI Robotics, an innovator in the field of humanoid robots, presented its line of robots: SE01, SA01 and PM01 at the prestigious CES. These devices provide developers with a wide range of options to enhance interaction with the environment. Models SA01 and PM01 serve as open platforms for further research and development, opening new horizons in the development of bodily intelligence.
EngineAI Founder and CEO Zhao Tongyang highlighted the company's commitment to creating world-class, versatile humanoid robots while accelerating progress in the body intelligence revolution. He noted that EngineAI is committed to delivering scalable products at competitive prices, with a goal of achieving production and sales of more than a thousand units by the end of 2025.
Zhao has extensive experience in the robotics field, having innovated since the beginning of his career. The company he founded in 2016, Dogotix, pioneered humanoid research in China. In 2020, his four-legged robot won a leadership position in the global market. Then, after founding XPENG Robotics, Zhao led the team that created the PX5 humanoid robot in 2023, which received recognition at the NVIDIA GTC 2024 conference. After the success of PX5, Zhao left XPENG Robotics and founded EngineAI, raising almost 100 million yuan ($13.64 million) in seed funding and introducing the latest humanoid SE01 in October 2024.
The SE01 was a major hit at CES 2025. EngineAI's first versatile full humanoid robot represents the company's commitment to advancing body intelligence technologies. Designed specifically for industrial work environments, the SE01 features high lifting capacity and the ability to handle heavy-duty transport and precision assembly tasks in demanding manufacturing environments. With advanced joint harmonic force control modules, deep reinforcement learning and imitative learning algorithm, and a complete neural network model, this robot has overcome the natural striding problem, eliminated the clumsy movements of previous models, and greatly improved performance and accuracy. Standing at 170 cm tall and weighing 55 kg, SE01 is capable of replicating human movements such as squats, push-ups and running, demonstrating physical fitness comparable to that of international professional athletes.
Another important product was the SA01, the first research robot designed for scientific and educational purposes. This open platform provides a customized bipedal robot for research and educational institutions. Weighs about 40 kg, can jump and run. SA01 is equipped with a deep learning algorithm and an efficient power module that consumes less than 200W of power when walking. Constructed from high-quality, high-strength aluminum alloy with high rigidity and impact resistance to ensure reliability and durability in a research environment. Priced at $5,400, the SA01 represents excellent value for money, with orders exceeding market expectations. EngineAI has now secured stable production capacity to meet growing demand.
PM01, the latest development from EngineAI, is a lightweight, highly efficient and open human physique system. Height 138 cm, weight about 40 kg, equipped with mechanical and natural leg movements characteristic of humanoids. PM01 stands out among the entire line with the greatest mobility, moving like a person and showing performance close to the leading indicators of SE01. It features an interaction core screen for intuitive interaction, and additional degrees of freedom in the neck and waist for increased dynamics. The model supports broad hardware and software integration, allowing the deployment and validation of cross-platform algorithms ideal for a wide range of research applications. Versions of the PM01 are available for both commercial and educational use. Until the end of March 2025, both versions are offered at a special price of $13,700. Buyers of the commercial version will receive a free upgrade to the educational version during the specified period.
With its debut at CES 2025, EngineAI is poised to continue innovating, enhancing its product portfolio and focusing on developing body intelligence technologies. The company is aimed at promoting solutions in the field of artificial intelligence, creating and developing ecosystems for training professionals and developing new models that bring the era of artificial general intelligence (AGI) closer.
