DISCOVER SEO1, THE NEXT-GEN HUMANOID BY ENGINEAI
The SEO1, officially the SE01, is the first full-sized humanoid robot from Shenzhen EngineAI Robotics, launched on 24 October 2024 and known for one breakthrough above all: a smooth, human-like walk powered by an end-to-end neural network rather than the choppy steps usually seen on humanoid robots.
What is the EngineAI SE01 (SEO1) humanoid robot?
On 24 October 2024, Shenzhen EngineAI Robotics launched its first full-sized humanoid robot SE01. Because of its advanced human-like walk, this invention has become a leader in humanoid robotics very quickly. SE01 is unique because it has an advanced end-to-end neural network system that gives it smooth motion and energy efficiency similar to humans. This is a major development in robotics and avoids the choppy steps typically reserved for robots. It could set a new standard in natural movement for robotic systems. As Interesting Engineering reported, EngineAI presented it as a world-first humanoid to achieve a genuinely human-like gait.
What are the EngineAI SE01 specs?
EngineAI Robotics has successfully designed SE01 with a mix of high quality hardware and new design. Built with two processors, one from Intel and another from NVIDIA, as well as three high-precision stereo cameras, SE01 processes visual information to navigate complicated environments. The SE01 design innovation features a strong and light aerospace-grade aluminum alloy frame. Instead of using ordinary sensors and actuators for force, it reflects high reliability and low cost and is a highly promising tool for research and education as well as for a variety of industrial uses. According to Robots International, the SE01 stands around 170 cm tall, weighs roughly 55 kg, offers 32 degrees of freedom and walks at about 2 m/s, with the aluminum frame rated for a long service life.
What is next for EngineAI?
EngineAI has developed SE01 as a new machine-intelligence type, aiming to embed robots with intelligent bodies. Under the leadership of founder and CEO Zhao Tongyang, the company is not only working on technology but also on making that technology practical and usable all over the world. As EngineAI Robotics continues to expand its product lines, with visions like the upcoming PM and PA series for home and industrial uses, SE01 is a significant step toward a future where humanoid robots seamlessly coexist with humanity, reshaping industries and daily lives alike.
