EngineAI PM01 Humanoid Robot

Full size humanoids are impressive, but they are also heavy, expensive to risk and hard to share across a lab or a class. A robot that falls a hundred times in a semester needs to be light enough to pick up and robust enough to keep going. The EngineAI PM01 was designed for that reality: at 138 cm and around 42 kg, it is small enough to handle, yet it walks, runs and turns with the agility of a much larger robot, and its software is open for developers to build on.

Background

EngineAI is a Shenzhen based humanoid robot company. Its range runs from the compact PM01 to the full size T800 and the SE01. EngineAI describes the PM01 as a fully open, general purpose embodied intelligence platform, and positions it for research, education and early commercial work. EngineAI has demonstrated the PM01 running, walking with a human like gait and performing a forward somersault.

PM01 Editions

EngineAI publishes two PM01 editions with the same body and different joints and computing:

Key Features

Compact and Easy to Handle

At 138 cm and around 42 kg, the PM01 is light enough for a small team to move, lift onto a support frame and set back on its feet. That makes it practical for classrooms, labs and indoor demonstrations where a full size humanoid would be difficult to manage.

Agile, High Dynamic Movement

Six degrees of freedom in each leg and hardware supported speeds above 2 m/s let the PM01 walk, run and change direction quickly. A waist that rotates more than 300° gives it an unusually wide range of upper body motion for turning, reaching and expressive movement.

Open for Development

EngineAI provides open source resources for the PM01, including training code for reinforcement learning and deep learning, deployment code and a ROS deployment framework. Teams can train locomotion policies in simulation and deploy them on the real robot, instead of building a software stack from scratch.

Computing for AI Work

The Education edition adds an NVIDIA Jetson Orin NX 16 GB module alongside the main CPU, plus depth cameras in the head and waist, so perception and AI models can run on the robot.

Quick Release Battery

A 10,000 mAh smart battery gives nearly two hours of operation and releases quickly, so a charged spare can keep sessions going.

Applications

• University research: locomotion, balance, reinforcement learning and sim to real transfer.
• Teaching: robotics, control and AI courses on real humanoid hardware.
• Embodied AI development: perception and decision making on the Education edition.
• Demonstrations and exhibitions: dynamic walking and running shows.
• Commercial pilots: startups and integrators testing humanoid applications at a lower entry point.

Who Should Buy the EngineAI PM01?

Buy the PM01 if you need a real, agile humanoid for research, teaching or early application development, but a full size platform would be too heavy, too costly to risk or too hard to share. It suits universities, robotics labs, AI teams, technical colleges and integrators testing humanoid pilots.

Which Should You Buy?

Before You Buy

• Choose the edition: decide whether you need the Education edition's Jetson computing, depth cameras and secondary development support.
• Plan sessions around runtime: with nearly two hours per charge, order spare batteries for full lab days.
• Prepare a test space: set up an open, padded area and a support gantry for early experiments.
• Check software: review the open source training and deployment code, ROS versions and documentation your team will use.
• Plan safety: a 42 kg robot moving at 2 m/s needs clear operating rules, emergency stop training and supervision.
• Note what it is not: the PM01 has simple arms rather than dexterous hands, so manipulation research may need a different platform.
• Ask about support: confirm warranty, spare parts, training and repair arrangements for your region.
