T800

The EngineAI T800 is a groundbreaking full-size general-purpose humanoid robot, launched in December 2025 by Shenzhen-based EngineAI (also known as Zhongqing Robotics), marking a significant leap in high-dynamic humanoid technology. Designed as a 'hardcore evolution' for industrial automation, manipulation, inspection, logistics, and research, the T800 emphasizes extreme mobility, strength, and modularity. Its architecture is fully in-house developed, featuring a robust aluminum alloy and high-strength shell with streamlined aesthetics and continuous high-performance thermal management systems to sustain peak operations under heavy loads. The core mechanical structure boasts up to 46 degrees of freedom (DOF) in the Max edition (32 body + 14 for dexterous hands), with planetary gear joints delivering a maximum torque of 450 N·m, absolute dual encoders for precision, and linear force control in Pro and Max variants for compliant interactions. Lower limbs support hardware-limited speeds of ≥3 m/s (10.8 km/h), enabling agile gaits, martial arts kicks, vertical jumps, and stable navigation on uneven terrain. The 173 cm tall frame weighs 75-85 kg, with 91 cm leg span and 60 cm arms, optimized for human-scale tasks. Perception is powered by a proprietary multi-dimensional system integrating stereoscopic vision and LiDAR (open interface compatible with Intel RealSense in higher editions), supplemented by dual Intel depth cameras in the Basic model. This enables omni-directional environmental awareness, obstacle avoidance, and real-time mapping. Computing architecture is dual-tiered: an Intel-based Robot PC (optional Rockchip RK3588) for core operations and a high-performance NVIDIA Jetson AGX Orin 64G AI PC (upgradable to Thor in top editions, with Orin NX 16G in Basic) for motion planning, perception fusion, and AI inference. The Linux-based robotics OS supports secondary development via SDK/API, open-source options in select editions, and external LLM integration through cloud APIs, though no proprietary AI models like specific transformers are disclosed—focus is on low-latency (150-250 ms glass-to-action) edge computing for dynamic responses. Power comes from modular quick-release smart batteries: standard ternary lithium at 71.4V/20Ah (2.5h charge) or optional solid-state at 74.8V/40Ah (3h charge), yielding 4-5 hours runtime. Connectivity includes Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, Ethernet, USB, 5G, microphone, speakers, and handheld remote. Ingress protection is IP20, prioritizing industrial durability. Real-world deployment is nascent but promising; post-launch demos showcased superhuman feats like flying kicks, door-smashing, and CEO Zhao Tongyang taking a full-force kick to debunk CGI rumors. By late December 2025, T800 units were spotted patrolling with Shenzhen special police at Window of the World tourist site, hinting at security trials. EngineAI announced mass production entry, backed by nearly CNY 1 billion in funding, with partnerships like Duolun Tech for 2,000+ humanoid deployments (likely scaling to T800) and JD.com for retail experiences. Aimed at heavy-duty industrial roles, its 10-15 kg per arm payload, high stability, and scalability position it as a competitor to Tesla Optimus and Figure 03, though still in early commercialization with ongoing refinements.
