China unveils humanoid robot "steel warrior" T800

(Dan Tri) - More than just boring logistics machines, EngineAI is redefining the robotics industry by launching the T800 model with incredible combat capabilities.

The global tech world is feeling extremely curious after EngineAI, a newly emerging "unicorn" in the field of robotics manufacturing in China, officially "teased" their latest flagship humanoid robot model: T800.

The newly released images of the T800 are not at all what many people imagine, but instead show a mechanical fighter ready for battle.

The move not only evokes the pop culture image of the "Terminator," but also marks a bold shift in the company's R&D strategy.

Mechanical monster T800 and its impressive debut

At the recent World Robot Conference 2025 in Beijing, the T800 really stole the spotlight. Designed for heavy-duty tasks, this machine possesses impressive specifications: 1.85m tall, 85kg in weight and equipped with up to 41 joints with high degrees of freedom (DOF).

To ensure operation in harsh environments, the T800 is equipped with an advanced solid-state battery and ultra-durable aluminum alloy armor.

What sets the T800 apart from its competitors is its multi-sensor fusion system, which allows it to process environmental data and make decisions in real time.

This ability will be tested in the most brutal way on December 24, when T800 officially enters the ring at the "Mecha King" fighting tournament organized by EngineAI itself.

Dual Strategy: From the Ring to the Cashier

Bringing robots to the ring isn't just a publicity stunt; instead, EngineAI sees fighting tournaments like "Mecha King" as the harshest real-world laboratory.

The intense physical impacts and unexpected situations on the arena floor will help engineers test the limits of the robot's durability, balance and artificial intelligence, and these are valuable data that are difficult to simulate in traditional labs.

Along with that “aggressive” image is an extremely pragmatic commercial strategy. EngineAI has teamed up with e-commerce giant JD.com to deploy humanoid robots as “Cyber ​​Staff” in retail stores in Shenzhen.

Here, dynamic balancing and situational handling technology honed through combat exercises will help robots interact safely and effectively with human customers. This is the unique "Brawlers and Baristas" strategy that EngineAI is pursuing.

Diverse ecosystem and international ambitions

In addition to the "star" T800, EngineAI also demonstrated a rich product ecosystem at the event. These are the PM01 model with the ability to backflip and recover when falling; the low-cost SA02 model (about 5,300 USD) aimed at education ; and the four-legged robot JS01 specialized for rescue and industrial inspection on difficult terrain.

With a goal of producing 1,000 robots this year, EngineAI has made no secret of its ambition to bring humanoid robots into every household. By combining internal R&D and an open-source ecosystem, the company is working to accelerate the commercialization process, turning intelligent machines from science fiction into an indispensable part of modern life.

The bell that rings in the ring on December 24th may also signal the official beginning of a new era of humanoid robots.
