Canonical robot record
Overview
The PM01 is EngineAI's lightweight, highly dynamic humanoid robot, built as a fully open platform for embodied-intelligence research and development. EngineAI emphasizes its self-developed joint actuators and motion-control algorithms, which it says enable precise, stable, and agile full-body movement.
The robot is offered in a business edition and an education edition, the latter adding an onboard AI compute module and depth-camera sensing. EngineAI markets the PM01 as a general-purpose hardware platform, providing low-level hardware interfaces and code support so developers can train and deploy their own behaviors.
The company positions the PM01 for research, education, and commercial applications, highlighting its dynamic mobility, including its claim of being the first humanoid robot to perform a forward somersault.
