EngineAI showcases PM01, the world’s first front-flipping humanoid robot, or so the company claims. It’s called the PM01 and everything is open source, which means the robot will only set you back around $13,700, a bargain compared to Boston Dynamics’ Atlas.
Despite the relatively low price tag, PM01 still boasts 5-DoF (degrees of freedom) in each arm and six per leg for a combined 23-DoF in body movement. The 4.5-foot-tall robot features 221 lb-ft of torque and weighs in at a reasonable 88 pounds. Why is a front flip significant?

By leveraging optical motion capture to collect extensive human motion data, it integrates end-to-end neural net work learning with adversarial networks to achieve rapid evolution in a simulated environment. It thrives in various complex scenarios, continually refining itself through trial and error,” said EngineAI.
