EngineAI
众擎机器人
EngineAI (众擎机器人) is a Shenzhen-based humanoid robotics company founded in October 2023 by Zhao Tongyang . It has moved with unusual speed: its first robot SA01 debuted in July 2024, and within three months it released SE01, a full-size humanoid robot priced in the $20,000–$30,000 range for research and industrial use . The company drew wide attention after a viral video of its robots performing an "axe gang" dance tribute to the film *Kung Fu Hustle* .
On funding, EngineAI raised two early rounds led by SenseTime's Guoxiang Capital and HLC (Honghui Fund), with Hefei Binhu Financial Investment and Xunshang Capital among the followers . More recently, JD.com has been actively investing in the sector, with EngineAI among the robotics names in its portfolio alongside the likes of ZhiYuan Robotics and Galaxea .
The company's challenge, as 十字路口Crossing noted in early 2025, is bridging the gap between impressive demo speed and the cost and reliability demands of actual factory deployment .
