EngineAI unveils T800 humanoid robot globally for first time at CES 2026

EngineAI Robotics Technology unveiled its full-size T800 humanoid robot globally for the first time at CES 2026.

What happened

On January 7, 2026, EngineAI Robotics Technology unveiled its full-size T800 humanoid robot globally for the first time at CES 2026. The company also displayed the PM01, a lightweight, highly mobile general-purpose agent.

Why it matters

The significance is that the capabilities of two humanoid machines designed for different uses were made concrete at the same venue. According to EngineAI, the PM01 is intended for public transit guidance, retail customer service, patrols and inspections. The T800, with multi-degree-of-freedom joints in its neck, waist and hands and joint torque of up to 450 newton-meters, is designed for tasks involving large movements such as running and martial arts. This makes it easier for prospective adopters to distinguish between a machine suited mainly for guidance and one designed for demanding movements.
