Product overview
About EngineAI PM01
The PM01 is a lightweight bipedal platform from Shenzhen-based EngineAI, unveiled in December 2024 in commercial and education editions. The current official manual for the education edition lists a height of 140 cm, a weight of about 43 kg and 24 degrees of freedom. An older official table listed 138 cm and 44 kg, so the figures here follow the newer manual.
EngineAI describes the robot as fully open. Its product page cites self-developed joint actuators, a waist that rotates through 320Ā° and low-level hardware interfaces for developers. The company publishes training and deployment code repositories and offers secondary-development support. The education edition pairs a four-core CPU with an NVIDIA Jetson Orin NX 16 GB module and is rated at about two hours of battery life with a two-hour full charge.
Launch pricing was a promotion of CNY 88,000 for both editions through 31 March 2025, with buyers in that window offered a free upgrade to the education edition. No current list price was found. The product purchase page links PM01 to a JD.com item page, and sales inquiries go through EngineAI's contact page.
