SA01 Pro
EngineAIThe SA01 Pro is a bipedal humanoid robot developed by ENGINEAI (众擎机器人), a Shenzhen-based company founded in October 2023. It is priced at $5,400 USD, constructed from aluminum alloy, and targets research and educational institutions as an open-source platform. Key features include reinforcement learning algorithms, strong system rigidity, and efficient power consumption, with initial release reported around July 2024. Critically, independent sources explicitly note that it is unclear whether the SA01 (and related models) operate autonomously or are remotely controlled, leaving autonomy unconfirmed by independent evidence.

Evidence-graded claims from the EngineAI deep report
EngineAI's SE01/PM01 humanoid robots are available for global commercial sale at ~$12,000–$13,700 USD (promotional pricing through March 2025), making them among the most affordable full-size humanoids on the market.
The Robot Report [3] and DeepLearning.AI's The Batch [5] — both independent news outlets — confirm the ~$12,000–$13,700 pricing and December 24, 2024 global availability; whether sustained post-promotional demand or actual unit deliveries at scale have occurred remains unverified.
from EngineAI deep report →EngineAI's robots demonstrate autonomous, naturalistic human-like walking gait and can sprint alongside a human — a locomotion capability independently observed at public demos including CES Las Vegas.
Reddit community posts [12] and independent news/commerce sources [5] corroborate the naturalistic gait and sprinting demonstrations; however, these confirm locomotion only — no independent source verifies autonomous task execution (manipulation, industrial work) beyond walking/running.

EngineAI has raised approximately $180+ million USD in total funding, with JD.com as lead investor, and filed for a Hong Kong IPO in June 2026.
The Robot Report [6] and PR Newswire [7] independently confirm ~$139.7M across pre-A++ and A1 rounds with JD.com leading; Business Insider [8] cites $180.69M for a December 2025 round; the IPO filing rests on a single Bloomberg report [9] — funding trajectory is credible but the IPO status is single-sourced and unconfirmed.
from EngineAI deep report →The T800's hardware specifications — 29 DoF, 450 N·m peak torque, 3 m/s max speed, NVIDIA Jetson Thor AI, solid-state battery, 360° LiDAR — represent its actual production capabilities.
These specs are sourced exclusively from a commerce review site (awesomerobots.xyz) [4] that derives them from vendor materials; no independent teardown, third-party benchmark, or regulatory filing corroborates these figures.

EngineAI is in mass production and actively deploying humanoid robots at scale for commercial and industrial customers.
While SE01/PM01 are listed as commercially available since December 2024 [3][5], no independent source in the dossier documents actual mass production volumes, confirmed customer deployments, or operational outcomes at scale — the evidence covers pricing and demos only.
