Current evidence comparison for EngineAI PM01 and Unitree G1.

EngineAI PM01

EngineAI

EngineAI PM01 is a compact Chinese bipedal research humanoid listed as 1.38 m, about 40 kg, 24 DOF, 2 m/s, with 320-degree waist rotation and a third-party video title claiming a front flip. Official sources confirm the platform and an official introduction video, but no payload, runtime, battery, hands, sensors, autonomy task execution, manipulation, or named customer deployments have been found. Price is uncertain: a third-party video title says $13,700, while a commonly cited 88,000 yuan launch price belongs to SE01, not PM01. Treat as a purchasable motion/research platform with low confidence on reliability and commercial readiness
