PM01

The EngineAI PM01 is a next-generation humanoid robot that combines affordability, agility, and research-focused design. Engineered for both academic and commercial use, it serves as a versatile testbed for AI and robotics research. Unlike many high-cost humanoids, PM01 is open-source, allowing researchers and developers to experiment with AI models, locomotion control, and human-robot interaction. With its highly adaptive bipedal walking gait, PM01 mimics human movement more fluidly than traditional humanoid robots, making it a promising candidate for applications in automation, service robotics, and human-assistive tasks.

At 1.38 meters tall and 40 kg, the PM01 is relatively compact yet highly capable. It has 24 degrees of freedom, enabling dynamic balance and precise motion control. The robot’s custom electric actuators allow for smooth, energy-efficient movements, even when transitioning between standing, walking, and turning. Its advanced AI-based locomotion system continuously adapts to different terrains, making it stable and efficient in real-world environments. The 320° rotational waist also enhances its flexibility, improving balance and object manipulation.

One of PM01’s standout features is its user-friendly interaction system. It includes a touchscreen display on its chest, which serves as a control interface and information panel, enabling users to input commands and receive visual feedback. The robot is equipped with multiple vision sensors, including stereo depth cameras and LiDAR, allowing for 3D perception, real-time navigation, and obstacle avoidance. While primarily designed for research and industry, its voice command capabilities and object-handling skills make it suitable for future service applications in homes, offices, and public spaces.

Designed for accessibility, the PM01 is one of the most cost-effective humanoids on the market, making it an ideal choice for universities, startups, and independent developers. It runs on an open-source AI framework, with full ROS (Robot Operating System) support, ensuring easy customization and third-party software integration. The PM01’s modular design allows for hardware expansion, making it adaptable for diverse robotics challenges, from AI research to practical automation tasks. As humanoid robots become more prevalent, the EngineAI PM01 stands out as a scalable, flexible, and affordable solution in the robotics ecosystem.
