An important turning point in robotic agility and mobility was recently reached with the introduction of the EngineAI PM01 humanoid robot which accomplished the first front flip in history. In addition to demonstrating China's progress in humanoid robotics, this accomplishment by the Shenzhen-based company also underscores the growing rivalry between China and the United States in this area. Advancement in robotic design and control systems is demonstrated by the PM01 robot ability to perform a front flip which is more difficult than a backflip because it requires intricate weight shifting and balancing management.
PM01 from EngineAI is among a new generation of Chinese robotics businesses that are becoming well-known worldwide. Robot's advanced characteristics including a bionic exoskeleton with 24 degrees of freedom and its small size it stands 1.38 meters tall make it an ideal platform for a variety of uses. The performance of PM01 is on par with other well known humanoid robots such as those made by Boston Dynamics and Unitree who have also accomplished remarkable achievements in robotic mobility. For example, Unitree's H1 robot demonstrated China's quick progress in this field by being the first entirely electric humanoid to execute a backflip.
Due to significant investments in research and development the U.S. and China are becoming more competitive in the field of humanoid robots. China has identified humanoid robots as a strategic priority in its 14th Five-Year Plan focusing on developing a self-sufficient supply chain and key components like coreless motors and harmonic drives. Meanwhile U.S. companies are emphasizing high-end applications and industrial uses for humanoid robots. In addition to technological superiority, market domination is at stake in this race since humanoid robots are expected to grow into a sizable industry in the future with projections indicating a $38 billion market by 2035. The competition takes on a new level with the introduction of front-flipping robots like EngineAI PM01 which could have an impact on battle bots and other entertainment robotics in the future.
