Engine AI众擎机器人

About

Engine AI was founded in Shenzhen in 2023 by Zhao Tongyang from XPeng's robotics team; it is a humanoid robotics company with fully in-house joint technology. Products span research and education (SA01), industry (SE01, T800) and general-purpose humanoids (PM01); in February 2025 the PM01 completed the world's first humanoid robot front flip and is rated top-tier in motion control for its human-like gait and dynamic capabilities. It sticks to a high cost-performance route, with mid-range products priced below RMB 100K and total usage costs about one-third of human labor; 2026 order value already exceeds RMB 500M. In April 2026 it closed a $200M Series B (led by Henan Investment Group's Huirong Fund, with Luxshare Precision strategically joining as co-lead), pushing its valuation past RMB 10B; the same month, Li Liyun, formerly XPeng's No. 1 intelligent-driving executive, joined as CTO. Original notes mention a B+ round, to be confirmed.

Technical Approach

Fully in-house joints: self-developed high-performance joint motors, reducers and drivers, with core components under its own control and standout cost and performance advantages. Leading motion control: renowned for human-like gait and dynamic capabilities (flips, walking), rated top-tier by industry evaluation bodies. High cost-performance route: mid-range products priced below RMB 100K with total usage costs about one-third of labor, targeting large-scale industrial and commercial adoption.

Commercialization（3）

• ◆Orders: 2026 order value already exceeds RMB 500M (per original notes)
• ◆Product rollout: the SA01/SE01/PM01 series covers research and education, industrial and commercial scenarios, with mid-range products priced below RMB 100K focused on cost performance
• ◆Ecosystem: strategic investment from Luxshare Precision opens Apple-chain precision manufacturing scenarios; backing from Henan Investment Group and other local state capital

Position & Strengths（4）

• ◆Industry-leading motion control: pioneer of the world's first humanoid robot front flip (Feb 2025), a benchmark in human-like gait technology (per original notes)
• ◆Valuation past RMB 10B: after the $200M Series B in Apr 2026, it joined the humanoid top tier
• ◆Fully in-house joints: core components under its own control, plus a high cost-performance positioning, giving large commercialization potential
• ◆Capital + industry ties: Luxshare Precision (3C manufacturing), Henan state capital, multiple industrial investors and existing shareholders keep doubling down, creating manufacturing and scenario synergies
