Video: China firm unveils combat-ready humanoid robot fighter

China’s Shenzhen-based company EngineAI has introduced the T800, a full-scale humanoid robot designed for combat and dynamic physical demonstrations. Unveiled at the World Robot Conference in Beijing, the T800 stands 5.6 feet tall, weighs 165 pounds, and features 29 degrees of freedom plus highly dexterous hands. Built with aviation-grade aluminum and equipped with an active cooling system, it can sustain high-intensity operations for up to four hours. The robot incorporates advanced perception technologies like 360-degree LiDAR and stereo vision, and powerful joint motors capable of complex movements such as flying kicks and rapid directional changes. Its computing system combines an Intel N97 base unit with an NVIDIA AGX Orin module, delivering 275 TOPS of AI processing power, and supports secondary development with an integrated remote controller. Despite its impressive hardware and athletic capabilities, the T800’s software ecosystem remains unclear. EngineAI has not provided detailed information on software development kits, APIs, or programming tools
