SE01
EngineAI's 2024 full-size platform, known for an uncannily natural walking gait, offered to labs and integrators by inquiry only. EngineAI's own store now prices only the PM01 and SA01, and it calls the newer T800 its first commercially mass-produced full-size humanoid.

About 40% on China-origin collected today: the 2.5% MFN base, 25% Section 301 List 1, and the 12.5% Section 301 forced-labor duty effective 24 Jul 2026 with no expiry. It began the same morning the 10% Section 122 surcharge lapsed, so the total rose from about 37.5% rather than falling to 27.5%. Confirm the live rate before ordering.

Hands sold separatelypriced by quote
EngineAI's SE01 page says it is 'Equipped with a bionic five-finger dexterous hand' and describes a six-degree-of-freedom dexterous hand, but names no configurations or prices; confirm in the quote whether hands are included.

Reality check
The human-like walk is genuinely impressive, but ordering is quote-only with no set sticker, EngineAI's store prices only the PM01 and SA01, and its newer T800 is the full-size model it says it mass-produces, so confirm the SE01 is still being built before you plan around it.
Can you get one, and what will it cost?
A planning estimate with machine, freight, duty, and tax shown separately.
Yes, with work: importable into United States.
US authorization: We found no public FCC ID for this model. Since 28 July 2026 a foreign-made robot can be sold into the US only under an FCC authorization from before that date, so ask the seller for its FCC ID, or its Supplier's Declaration of Conformity dated before 28 July 2026, before you pay.
Optional hands are excluded until a seller quotes them. Spare batteries and other accessories are excluded. Confirm compatibility and pricing with the seller.

Individuals and companies can inquire. Confirm the configuration, stock, and delivery with the seller.
Earlier listings described commercial and educational versions; EngineAI's current SE01 page names no versions, price or buy link, so ordering is by inquiry.
Price notes: Global sales opened late 2024. China Daily reported in January 2025 an early-bird price of RMB 88,000 and a return to RMB 188,000 (~$26k) after March 2025; EngineAI's own site shows no SE01 price today (its purchase page prices only the PM01, at RMB 188,000, and the SA01). Ordering is inquiry-based, not cart-based. Robots International lists the SE01 at $54,000 with Add to Cart, subject to availability (checked 5 Oct 2026). No confirmed EU distributor with a listed EUR price.
Links marked commission link are affiliate links: if you buy through one, Robots International pays HumanoidStore a share of the sale, at no cost to you. Which sellers we list, their order, and everything we say about a machine are decided without regard to it.

What it does on day onewith zero programming
Famous natural human-like walking gait (2 m/s) and whole-body motion demos. It is an R&D platform, with no useful autonomous work out of the box.
Best for: Research teams that want a full-size locomotion platform with a signature gait and are prepared to confirm availability and software access directly with EngineAI.
What it takes to developskills, gear, and SDK access
A full robotics team (ROS2, RL and perception skills), and first a written answer from EngineAI on software access, since its SE01 page documents no SDK. As a full-size robot it needs lab space and a gantry.
SDK access: EngineAI's SE01 page documents no SDK, open-source code or secondary development, and its public GitHub repos cover the PM01, T800 and SA01 rather than the SE01, so ask what software access a quote includes. The joint modules are self-developed; the earlier 10-year design life claim is not on the maker's current page.
