The PM01 robot, developed by Shenzhen tech startup EngineAI, stands 1.38 meters tall and weighs 40 kg, making it lighter and more compact than other full-size models. This robot stands out for its agility and 320-degree waist rotation capability. These characteristics allow it to execute dynamic, fluid movements and adapt to a variety of tasks, from academic research to industrial applications. Founded in 2023, EngineAI has so far unveiled three humanoid robot models for different scenarios.
