About
About SE01
SE01 is ENGINEAI's full-size bipedal humanoid for movement and manipulation development. Its human-proportioned aluminium body combines proprietary joint actuators with five-finger hands. Neural-network gait training supports walking and turning, alongside demonstrated squatting and other dynamic movement routines.
The robot's perception system combines lidar, depth and infrared cameras with onboard audio and inertial sensing. Visual feedback is intended to guide arm motion and grasping, while force feedback in the articulated hands supports contact-sensitive manipulation. A quick-release battery allows battery replacement between operating sessions. SE01 is a general-purpose development platform within ENGINEAI's humanoid programme; its physical architecture and demonstrated movement routines should be distinguished from completed customer applications.
