China Unveils a New Combat Humanoid Robot – It’s Getting Seriously Intimidating 😑

According to the Science and Technology Desk of Saed News, the humanoid robot named T800 was unveiled by EngineAI during the World Robotics Conference in Beijing. Its size and weight are comparable to that of an adult human. The T800 has demonstrated remarkable capabilities as a platform for controlled combat demonstrations.

Almost every week, new advanced humanoid robots are introduced. To stand out and create a truly unique machine, developers must go beyond basic functions such as walking or simple hand movements.

EngineAI has taken this challenge seriously. Their new humanoid, the T800, is designed with an ambitious approach that emphasizes dynamic performance rather than mere utility. The robot is intended to execute complex, high-performance motions, particularly in martial arts demonstrations.

A recent video illustrates the T800’s capabilities in combat scenarios.

The T800 is a full-sized humanoid engineered for high mobility, endurance, and versatility. It stands 173 centimeters tall, weighs 75 kilograms with its battery installed, and features 29 degrees of freedom across its body, with each hand offering seven degrees of freedom for precise manipulation.

According to the manufacturer, the robot’s frame is constructed from aerospace-grade aluminum panels, balancing durability with manageable weight. Its exterior design is aerodynamic, and an active cooling system in the leg joints enables continuous high-intensity operation for up to four hours. This cooling system is supported by a modular solid-state battery architecture.

The T800 is equipped with a suite of multisensory systems, including 360-degree LiDAR, stereo vision sensors, and millisecond-level environmental processing to avoid obstacles and maintain situational awareness. Its powerful joint motors can generate torque up to 450 newton-meters, enabling advanced maneuvers such as jumping strikes, capoeira-style spins, and rapid directional changes.
