EngineAI PM01

EngineAI PM01 is a next-generation, lightweight humanoid robot introduced in December 2024 by Chinese startup EngineAI. Standing 1.38 meters tall and weighing approximately 40 kg, it features 24 degrees of freedom (DoF) that enable smooth, dynamic, and human-like joint movements. Powered by a high-performance dual-chip architecture combining Intel N97 and NVIDIA Jetson Orin processors, PM01 delivers advanced AI capabilities for real-time control and perception. Its custom electric actuators provide up to 300 N·m of joint torque with a peak torque density of 203 N·m/kg, supporting agile and precise motions including walking at speeds up to 2 m/s. The robot incorporates a 320° rotational waist for enhanced flexibility and object manipulation. Equipped with stereo depth cameras, LiDAR, and multiple HD cameras, PM01 offers comprehensive 3D perception, obstacle avoidance, and adaptive path planning. A touchscreen display on its chest facilitates user interaction and control. Designed as an open-source platform with full ROS support, PM01 is ideal for research, education, and commercial applications, offering modular hardware expansion and extensive software customization.

PM01 performs dynamic bipedal locomotion with natural human-like gait, capable of walking, turning, and balancing on varied terrains. It executes precise object manipulation supported by advanced perception and AI-driven control. The robot supports interactive user interfaces via touchscreen and voice commands, making it suitable for research, automation, service robotics, and human-assistive roles.
