Chinese Robot Becomes First Humanoid to Perform a Front Flip

EngineAI's PM01 humanoid robot achieves a groundbreaking acrobatic feat, showcasing advanced agility and dynamic balance.

EngineAI, a Shenzhen-based robotics company, has unveiled the PM01 humanoid robot, capable of performing the world's first front flip by a humanoid robot.
The PM01 stands at 1.38 meters tall, weighs 88 pounds, and features 24 degrees of freedom for smooth and dynamic movement.
Front flips are considered more challenging than backflips due to their higher demands on dynamic balance, instantaneous acceleration, and precise landings.
The PM01's advanced capabilities include a 320-degree waist rotation, Intel RealSense depth camera for visual perception, and a dual-chip design combining NVIDIA Jetson Orin and Intel N97 CPUs.
EngineAI's humanoid robots, including the PM01 and its larger SE01 model, are being tested in various applications, such as law enforcement and public interaction, highlighting rapid advancements in robotics.
