Price and availability
from evidence packWhat the EngineAI SE01 can do
evidence by capability dimensionSE01 is described as having five-finger dexterous hands for realistic grasping and manipulation, but no demonstration of manipulation tasks or success rates was found.
No evidence of autonomous task execution. Walking demos do not disclose whether they are autonomous or teleoperated.
SE01 is claimed to achieve a natural, human-like walking gait at up to 2 m/s using an end-to-end neural network, reinforcement learning, and imitation learning with self-developed harmonic joint modules. Official and third-party video titles suggest walking demonstrations, including a long-distance campus test. However, no independent biomechanical analysis or teleoperation disclosure is available.
SE01 is reported to have multiple sensors: three stereo camera sets (Maginative) and LiDAR, depth, and infrared cameras under the 'Engine Sense' concept (africasatellite.com). No perception capabilities have been demonstrated.
No evidence of human interaction capabilities (speech, gesture, HRI) found.
Unofficial reseller lists battery endurance around 2 hours with quick-swap design. A third-party video title suggests a long-distance campus walking test, but no distance or duration data is provided.
SE01 is human-sized (170 cm, 55 kg) with human-like proportions, designed to fit environments built for humans.
What is proven

About the EngineAI SE01
summary from sourced evidenceEngineAI SE01 is a full-size biped humanoid (170 cm, 55 kg, 32 DoF) introduced in October 2024 as the company's first humanoid with a natural, human-like walking gait. The gait is achieved through end-to-end neural networks, reinforcement learning, and imitation learning using self-developed harmonic joint modules. Specs include 330 Nm joint torque, dual NVIDIA/Intel processors, and stereo cameras (plus LiDAR/depth/IR per unofficial source). Evidence consists of official and third-party videos with titles indicating walking demos, including a long-distance campus test, but no transcripts or independent analysis. There is no evidence of autonomous task execution, manipulation beyond a spec claim of dexterous hands, customer deployment, or official pricing
