Overview
Unveiled in December 2025 and launched at CES 2026, the T800 undercut rivals with a China base price of ~$26,900 (¥180,000). It uses a solid-state battery rated for 4–5 hours and very high joint torque, and EngineAI markets it with sparring demos. International pricing is much higher than the China price.
