EngineAI Robotics

Based in Shenzhen, China, EngineAI Robotics develops humanoid and quadruped robots equipped with advanced artificial intelligence capabilities for commercial, industrial, and educational applications. The company manufactures versatile robotic systems designed for broader mass-market adoption, including the SA01 EDU education platform priced at approximately $5,563 and the lightweight PM01 model priced under 100,000 yuan. In July 2025, the enterprise secured nearly 1 billion Chinese yuan across consecutive Pre-A++ and A1 funding rounds to accelerate mass production and mainstream commercialization. This significant capital injection followed a late 2024 financing effort where the hardware startup targeted a $1 billion valuation. The firm has attracted financial backing from notable institutional investors and corporate partners, including Xinghang Capital and e-commerce giant JD.com. EngineAI Robotics was founded in October 2023 by chief executive officer Zhao Tongyang and co-founder Ren Guowen.
