EngineAI T-800
A weatherproof, thermal-vision patrol humanoid with a direct line to police
Shenzhen showman-founded humanoids — from viral front flips to the T-800 patrol robot
EngineAI (众擎机器人) is a Shenzhen humanoid startup founded in 2023 by Zhao Tongyang, the grassroots, vocational-college founder who built XPeng's first humanoid before leaving to start his own company. EngineAI made its name with stunts — robots performing the world's first humanoid front flip and, memorably, kicking their own CEO on camera — behind a reported $1.5 billion valuation. Its lineup spans research bipeds like the SE01 and PM01 and the T-800, a weatherproof, thermal-vision security humanoid pitched for outdoor patrol with a direct line to police. Provocatively named after the Terminator, the T-800 is one of the more credible near-term humanoid use cases outside the warehouse, at an expected price around $38,000.
