Engine AI Unveils the T800 — A USD ~$25,000 Full-Size Combat-Capable Humanoid

Engine AI today launched the T800, a full-size humanoid robot engineered for high-power mobility and combat-grade performance — with a striking starting price of ~USD 25,000 (RMB 180,000).

Key Specs:

Full-size build: 1.73 m / 75 kg, aerospace-grade Mg–Al unibody die-casting
Explosive power: In-house integrated joint modules delivering 450 N·m peak torque and 14 kW burst power — enabling flips, fighting motions, and sprinting
Endurance: World’s first solid-state battery for humanoids, 4–5 h runtime, active thermal management on leg joints
Dexterous hand: 7-DOF + 5 kg load, tactile sensing + precision force control
Perception: 360° LiDAR, millisecond-level mapping, AI path planning, dynamic obstacle avoidance
Applications: Industrial collaboration, commercial service, home assistance; projected OPEX ~1/3 of human labor
Availability: Pre-orders open now across Base / Eco / Pro / Max tiers; 2026 delivery target: 10,000 units
The T800 combines exceptional cost efficiency, high-power mobility, and solid-state battery endurance to set a new benchmark for humanoids. Its flip-level agility, combat-ready dynamics, and multi-scenario versatility signal China’s humanoid sector accelerating toward 10,000-unit mass production and global competition by 2026.
