Industrial Applications
SA01 is ENGINEAI’s armless lower-body locomotion platform, launched July 29, 2024. The official catalog confirms 12 motors, S160 joints and a 15 Ah battery. Current detailed product text is sparse; it is a research base rather than a complete factory manipulation system.
This editorial assessment concerns industrial buyer readiness. It is not an independent performance test.

Manipulation and Perception
Armless lower-body platform with 12 DOF, six per leg implied by lower-body layout. No hand, arm payload or rated carried-body payload established.
S160 in-house motors listed; no guaranteed included camera/LiDAR/AI board recovered. Exact base computer, network and sensor BOM require a current configuration sheet.
SDK and Integration
Historical humanoid controller and legged-gym framework exist, but exact SA01 shipped firmware/API/model licence mapping needs confirmation. Current native SDK named targets are PM01 EDU/T800/T800Pro, not SA01.
| API type | Exact-model developer entitlement unverified |
|---|---|
| Languages | Needs verification |
| ROS support | No exact configuration support established |
| Simulation | No exact configuration simulator/controller compatibility established |
| Offline operation | October 2026 privacy policy claims local robot data processing; all-feature offline execution and remote-service dependence require verification |
| Teleoperation | Needs verification |
| Software updates | Public support entry points exist; exact firmware compatibility, rollback and maintained lifetime unverified |
| Documentation | Open documentation |
| Integration constraints | Use the exact hardware/controller/manual revision and contract. Family openness does not enable software-disabled retail editions. |
Safety Notes
Manufacturer warns of high-power drives and dangerous demonstrations. Establish a bounded test area, trained operator, suspension/support during development and validated stop/recovery procedures. No exact-model signed EU declaration, independent protective-stop performance or collaborative safety envelope inspected.
Compliance and Certificates
| Standard | Status | Jurisdiction | Evidence |
|---|---|---|---|
| CE marking | Unknown | European Union | No exact-model signed declaration or independent certificate inspected. A listed integration standard is not product certification. |
Commercial Readiness
| Pricing | Observed November 2, 2026 official purchase card CNY 42000. Edition, included accessories, freight/tax and overseas service costs unspecified. |
|---|---|
| Price range | 42000.00 CNY |
| Lead time | Needs verification |
| Availability regions | China supplier inquiry, Overseas availability subject to configuration and contract |
| Spare parts | Overseas policy provides replacement-parts delivery; customs exceptions and local repair arrangements apply. No verified European spares warehouse or contracted turnaround. |
| Warranty | V2.0 policy lists 12 months for main unit/electronics/charger/controller, excluding consumables and unauthorised modifications. Battery and purchased edition scope require contract confirmation. Historical January 2025 PM01 FAQ instead gave Business 8 months / Education 12; do not silently replace an existing contract. |
| Configuration and pricing basis | Observed official SA01 purchase card; included configuration and export costs require quotation. |
| Distributors and service | No exact-model manufacturer authorisation or stocked European repair capability verified. |
