Story
EngineAI SE01 makes the cut because the official product page is unusually direct: it calls SE01 a full-size general-purpose humanoid robot with anthropomorphic gait. That puts it inside HumanoidRoster's core scope rather than in the wheeled/social/animatronic gray zone.
The strongest public evidence is motion. EngineAI describes walking, turning, squatting, push-ups, and other dynamic behaviors, plus a five-finger dexterous hand with six degrees of freedom. Those claims are relevant, but they are still first-party claims.
SE01 should therefore enter the roster as a real contender with a cautious score. The robot is worth tracking, but it needs independent task evidence, customers, or a stable public spec sheet before it can move out of the manufacturer-demo tier.
Reality check
SE01 has a dedicated official product page that explicitly frames it as a full-size general-purpose humanoid robot with anthropomorphic gait. EngineAI shows motion and dexterous-hand claims, but the public proof is still mostly manufacturer-controlled, so deployment and commercial scores remain modest.
- EngineAI's official SE01 page describes it as a full-size general-purpose humanoid robot with anthropomorphic gait
- The official page describes walking, turning, squatting, push-up, and dynamic motion demos
- The official page describes a five-finger dexterous hand with six degrees of freedom
- The official page describes Engine Sense perception using lidar, depth cameras, and infrared cameras
- The official page describes an 80% charge in 2 hours and a 1000 mAh battery figure, but this battery value needs source-level caution
- Practical work capability outside controlled demos remains unproven
- Commercial deployment evidence is not yet strong enough for a high commercial-traction score
