ENGINEAI T800 Developer / Open Source: Specifications and Evidence

Industrial Applications

Edition-specific T800 evaluation: 25-body-motor, five-axis-arm developer tier, called Open Source/Eco in English launch and Developer in Chinese. Marketing/manual component differences remain unresolved.

This editorial assessment concerns industrial buyer readiness. It is not an independent performance test.

Manipulation and Perception

Five-axis arms / 25 body DOF; no supported dexterous hands. Public October manual approximately 84.5 kg including battery, while retail gives unallocated 75–85 kg; scalar mass null pending exact BOM.

Exact retail and manual revisions differ: Basic NX 16 GB / no LiDAR; Developer English AGX + LiDAR versus Chinese Intel camera / no LiDAR and RK3588S base. October Developer/Pro manual instead Nezha four-core 8 GB + AGX 64 GB / 256 GB and Odin2 stereo + LiDAR / IMU, four microphones, two speakers. Freeze exact BOM.

SDK and Integration

Public native SDK, ROS2 community workspace and RL Lab provide C++/Python interfaces, MuJoCo and pinned Isaac Lab workflows. Native framework retains a precompiled scheduling core. BSD-3-Clause root licences do not establish that all firmware, motor drivers or AI weights are open. Exact targets: pm01_edu, t800 and t800pro; Basic retail T800 is excluded. Simulators must be isolated from physical robot discovery.

API type	Native C++ plugins and ROS2 body/joint interfaces; edition entitlement required
Languages	C++, Python
ROS support	ROS2 Humble / Cyclone DDS with Ubuntu 22.04 in public community workspace; historical ROS Noetic controller is a separate stack
Simulation	MuJoCo joint-bridge / native Sim2Sim; Isaac Sim 5.1 and Isaac Lab 2.3.2 training in current RL repository
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
Code examples	Open repository
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 EU Declaration of Conformity inspected.

Commercial Readiness

Pricing	Launch range starts CNY 180000, without verified current developer quotation. No exact-edition USD or export price assigned.
Price range	Quote-based or unverified
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	Exact edition quotation required
Distributors and service	No exact-model manufacturer authorisation or stocked European repair capability verified.

Specifications

Height	1730 mm
Weight	Unknown
Payload	Unknown

October developer manual specifies 61.2 V / 20 Ah / 1.22 kWh ternary lithium, ~7.2 kg, quick removal, separate 2.5 h charge. Overview 2 h standard versus battery chapter ≥3 h general walking unresolved; no universal runtime scalar or unverified optional 40 Ah pack.
Degrees of freedom	25
Max speed	Unknown
Edition mechanics	25 motors: neck 2 + legs 12 + waist 1 + arms 10. Five-axis arms; development access, no dexterous-hand entitlement. Source ↗
Walking versus hardware speed	Developer/Pro manual forward walking 0–1.5 m/s, running <3 m/s hardware-supported; retail ≥2 m/s hardware. No measured universal maximum assigned. Source ↗
