This “T800” Isn’t From ‘The Terminator,’ It’s a Real Humanoid Robot

The T800 from EngineAI is a full-size humanoid robot designed for strength, mobility, and real-world applications. According to EngineAI, the robot stands roughly between 5.7 feet and 6 feet tall and weighs under 190 pounds, making it suitable for human-centric environments. 


The T800 features over 40 degrees of freedom, allowing flexible, human-like movement of the arms, legs, and torso. Its aluminum-alloy frame is paired with high-torque joints, making it ideal for durability and heavy-duty tasks. EngineAI states that the robot runs on a modular solid-state battery with an estimated 2-to-4 hours of operation, depending on workload. 


The humanoid is equipped with lidar and vision sensors to navigate complex environments. Promotional footage shows the T800 performing dynamic, combat-style movements, although large-scale real-world deployment is still in its early stages. Despite sharing a name with the iconic Terminator robot, this T800 is positioned for industrial, logistics, and commercial applications, not science fiction.

    I don't think you know what the word "real" means. At a minimum, it means not CGI.

  • Oberkanone Dacia makes product line of affordable vehicles. An entire product line. One vehicle is not the answer for all needs. Dacia does affordable well.
  • YaMoBeThere This is an egregiously bad AI generated article, the middle of the article is repeated twice... but yea go ahead and nitpick about my comment pointing that out
  • Slavuta Is this Ok if I use OEM all weather floor mats? Yes, the ones that came with 2011 Mazda3 were not good. But the ones in 2017 Mazda6 are excellent. BTW, in that picture, Grand Cherokee on Kumho tires. Is this also an advert or just coincidence?
  • Bar170111344 "GM was on track to spend $31.7 billion on compliance technology through 2031."I'll just mention, that expenditure would have gone into research and development, and that would have driven U.S. manufacturing innovation. On the industrial side, R&D is necessary for U.S. manufacturers to remain competitive in the world. It's absolutely no surprise China is running rings around us. The prospective $ savings GM is looking forward to hasn't impressed the stock market. Year-to-date return of -5.65%. -7.05% in the last month. PE 20:1, inflated by the falling share price. Not to be insulting by any stretch, but it has never been like Mary Barra to get out ahead of anything. She's not an innovator and not a risk taker. She's a good engineer.Honestly - in that industry, which I worked in for decades, being regulated is like having a security blanket. You can be mediocre, blame it on regulation, and still make a buck. And with the federal government now digging an even deeper moat around GM and Ford, it's clearly suppressing American innovation and excellence.
