Chinese humanoid robot manufacturer opens mass production plant

Chinese robotics manufacturer EngineAI Robotics has announced the launch of its EngineAI Intelligent Manufacturing (Honghualing, Shenzhen) Base, alongside the rollout of the first batch of its flagship T800 full-size humanoid robots. The company says it aiming for a 10,000-unit scalable delivery capability.

Spanning around 12,000 m², the Shenzhen Base features an integrated, closed-loop manufacturing process that covers everything from incoming material inspection and component assembly testing to final assembly, end-of-line testing, mass shipment, and after-sales maintenance. The company says a new humanoid robot can roll off the production line every 15 minutes.

The company says the T800 robot is designed for high-dynamic and heavy-duty operational environments.

“From our first test machine in 2024, to the small-scale production of hundreds of PM01 units in 2025, and now to the qualitative leap toward a 10,000-unit delivery capability, we are entering a new phase of industrialisation and commercialisation,” said Zhao Tongyang, Founder and CEO of EngineAI. “By building a manufacturing system centred on quality, efficiency, and intelligent production, we have accelerated our journey from pilot production to mass manufacturing and from zero to scale.”

Founded in October 2023, EngineAI says it has achieved full-stack in-house development across core robotic components, motion control algorithms and embodied AI technologies. Its product portfolio spans multiple application scenarios, including the SA01, designed to make advanced robotics more accessible; the SE01, which demonstrated one of the world's earliest human-like walking capabilities; the PM01, which achieved the world's first humanoid robot front flip; and the T800, designed for high-dynamic and heavy-duty operational environments.
