EngineAI T800 Confirmed Specs, Demos and Limits
The T800’s athletic demonstrations show powerful motion, while autonomy, safety and commercial specifications remain less transparent.
A measured technical profile of EngineAI’s T800 humanoid, separating reported height, mass, joints, battery and demonstrations from unverified claims.
EngineAI is a Shenzhen humanoid robotics company founded in 2023.
Manufacturer specifications: 173 cm; 75–85 kg by edition.
Demonstrations include running, kicks and acrobatic motion.
An official English specification table is available; these are manufacturer claims.

T800 is positioned as a full-size general-purpose humanoid
EngineAI lists Basic/Open Source at 25 joints, Pro at 43 including hands and Max at 46. Its headline 29-DoF figure excludes hands. Structural material is listed as aluminum and titanium.
The published configurations are not independent measurements; compare the exact edition.
Athletic demos emphasize actuator power and balance
T800 videos show running, roundhouse kicks, capoeira-style motion and impact demonstrations. Such actions demand fast joint control, high leg torque and recovery after momentum shifts.
A viral video of the robot kicking EngineAI founder Zhao Tongyang was released after viewers questioned whether earlier footage was computer generated. The demonstration shows a physical robot producing significant force. It does not establish safe operation near unprotected people.

The control method remains unclear
Public coverage does not consistently state whether each motion was autonomous, scripted, motion-captured or teleoperated. A preprogrammed athletic sequence is still a difficult control achievement, but it is different from choosing and executing an action in an unfamiliar environment.
EngineAI should publish the controller mode, sensor inputs and number of attempts for each demo. That information would let viewers separate hardware capability from task intelligence.
Published specifications and remaining limits
The overview advertises up to four hours; edition tables list 3–5 hours. Runtime depends on configuration and task.
Binocular cameras, edition-dependent LiDAR and Orin modules are documented. Sustained thermal performance and autonomous task reliability are not established by a specification table.
Commercial usefulness will depend on safer tasks
EngineAI has described logistics, hospitality and industrial work as possible applications. Those tasks require reliable grasping, navigation, fleet management and safety around workers. Kicking strength is not a direct measure of usefulness in any of them.
The next evidence should include a named task, autonomous or supervised control label, success rate, runtime and maintenance data. T800 is a real and capable motion platform, but broad commercial readiness remains unproven.
Verification notes
- Official English product tables checked October 11, 2026; manufacturer claims remain distinct from independently tested performance.
