The PM01 starts at an estimated $12,000; fully equipped configurations may reach $30,000. A commonly quoted price point is around $20,000. These figures are based on aggregator data and pre-order listings.
The PM01 is capable of bipedal walking, running at up to 7.2 km/h, dancing, and performing front flips. Its 24 degrees of freedom and open-platform design allow researchers to program custom locomotion and AI behaviors.
Yes, the PM01 is available for pre-order directly from EngineAI or through approved distributors such as MERA Robotics. Lead times are not publicly fixed; early-adopter deliveries are expected throughout 2026.
The PM01 costs $4,000 less at base price ($12,000 vs. $16,000), is taller (1.38 m vs. 1.27 m), and heavier (40 kg vs. 35 kg). Most notably, the PM01 performs front flips and high-speed running that the G1 does not demonstrate. The G1, however, has a longer track record and broader community support.
Height: 1.38 m, weight: 40 kg, 24 degrees of freedom, 2-hour battery life, max speed 7.2 km/h. Payload capacity (arm) is not officially specified.
EngineAI Robotics, a Chinese humanoid robot startup founded in 2023 and headquartered in Shenzhen, designs and manufactures the PM01.
The PM01 runs for approximately 2 hours on a single charge. The battery is swappable, allowing continuous use with spare packs.
Primarily education and academic research. The robot is also used for athletic demonstrations at events and as a developer platform for embodied AI startups.
EngineAI has not released an official arm payload rating. The only verified strength figure is a standing payload of 15 kg, but this likely refers to static carrying on the upper body, not dexterous arm lifting.
Currently not recommended. The PM01 lacks the fine manipulation and safety certifications required for home use. It is designed for controlled lab and exhibition environments.
