EngineAI Unveils the T800, a Full-Size Humanoid Robot Built for Real-World Power

Chinese robotics company EngineAI (Zhòngqíng) has revealed its new full-size humanoid, the T800, and the company made one point very clear from the start: all footage shown was real. No CGI, no AI manipulation, and no speed-ups. What you see is exactly what the robot did.

The T800 stands 173 cm tall, roughly the height of an average adult. It uses a 29 degree of freedom joint system not including the hands, and each joint can deliver a maximum torque of 450 N.m. This gives the robot a level of physical strength and stability that puts it in the upper tier of current humanoid development worldwide.

Real World Capabilities

EngineAI designed the T800 with a 360 degree omnidirectional perception system that allows the robot to monitor its environment and react without blind spots. It also includes active cooling in the leg joints, which helps maintain performance during extended operation and physically demanding tasks.

Battery life ranges from four to five hours depending on activity level. This positions the T800 as a practical humanoid for continuous tasks in environments such as factories, warehouses, and commercial facilities.

A Push Toward High-Performance Humanoids

EngineAI continues a growing trend inside China to build fully capable humanoid robots that rely less on staged demos and more on real footage. The T800 fits directly into this movement, focusing on torque, locomotion quality, and long operational duration rather than flashy but unrealistic performance.

As humanoid robots continue their rapid rise, the T800 gives another clear signal that the global sprint toward practical, deployable embodied AI is accelerating. If the footage is as real as the company claims, EngineAI just added another serious contender to the humanoid race.
