In a newly released video, the PM01 robot coinues to move even after being deliberately thrown off balance, thus demonstrating its high stability and fast recovery corol.
This humanoid robot absorbs external forces, adjusts its body position in real time, and recovers its rhythm within a few seconds; This shows the precise coordination between sensors, operators and corol algorithms.
The robot is also seen performing a corolled backflip, performing this maneuver with coordinated arm swing, core body stabilization, and precise landing mechanics. The forward backstroke is generally more difficult for humans and robots than the backward backstroke.
Forward rotation shifts the body weight forward of the fulcrum, making balance corol more difficult and the landing more unstable. On the other hand, the back facing backwards keeps the ceer of mass more aligned and allows for a stronger thrust of the legs at the mome of take-off and a more effective correction of the body position in mid-air.
According to experts, shorter humanoids like the PM01 have a lower ceer of mass, which reduces the risk of tipping over and requires less rotational torque to complete the maneuver. Their compact structure also helps distribute impact forces more efficiely. In corast, full-length mannequins experience more mechanical stress during landing and therefore require more powerful actuators, reinforced jois, and a stronger structural design to absorb shock and maiain stability.
In another sequence, PM01 lies arched and face-up on the floor, then gely returns to a standing position. This moveme is very similar to the way a human uses to lean, transfer weight and get off the ground.
PM01 is designed for researchers who seek to iegrate humanoid capabilities with advanced robotics. This robot has a highly ieractive ceral display, a bionic structure that mimics natural human moveme, and the ability to rotate 320 degrees at the waist. Utilizing a durable aluminum alloy exoskeleton, this system combines strength with a lightweight structure to improve agility and resilience.
Compared to EngineAI’s full-length flagship SE01, the PM01 robot is 27cm shorter and 8kg lighter. SE01 has a height of 1.38 meters and a weight of 40 kg, thus PM01 is iroduced as a more compact alternative for research and developme environmes.
EngineAI demo videos highlight the PM01’s advanced visual perception powered by the Iel RealSense depth camera. The robot’s dual-chip architecture includes Nvidia Jetson Orion and Iel N97, which enables high-performance computing for complex tasks and real-time AI workloads.
In the small humanoid segme, the PM01 competes with the likes of the Unitree G1 and the Booster T1. The PM01 offers smooth motion with 24 degrees of freedom, including 12 degrees of freedom in its articulated motors, surpassing the T1 in number of degrees of freedom with 23 degrees of freedom, providing powerful base performance, while the G1 can have up to 43 degrees of freedom. This robot moves at a speed of up to 2 m/s, which is higher than the speed of 1.2 m/s T1.
