Start with the job and edition
EngineAI positions T800 for work ranging from logistics to customer-facing services. In May 2026, it announced the first production batch from its Shenzhen line. That is a manufacturing milestone; a particular deployment still needs a defined task, an offered configuration and support arrangements.12
The current table separates Basic, Open Source, Pro and Max. Basic and Open Source list 25 joint motors; Pro lists 43 including the hands, and Max 46 including the hands. The headline 29-degree-of-freedom description excludes dexterous hands and must not replace those edition-specific totals.1
Hardware access changes the project
All four tables give a height of 173 cm and configuration-dependent mass of 75-85 kg. Basic lacks LiDAR and secondary-development support in the table, while the other editions include them. Before planning a custom application, ask which interfaces and software rights accompany the actual hardware.1
For a handling project, a useful acceptance task is the exact pickup and placement, repeated with the object and working height you expect to use. Specify how the robot is supervised and how a stop is recovered. EngineAI explicitly cautions operators to keep a safe distance because of the machine’s powerful actuators.1
Agree the operating package
EngineAI’s headline describes solid-state lithium batteries and up to four hours of operation. The edition tables instead say lithium and three to five hours. Those descriptions are not matched to the same pack revision or workload, so neither is a reliable session-planning figure yet. Ask for the battery specification and runtime under the actions you intend to repeat.1
EngineAI’s overseas policy prioritizes remote support and replacement parts, with on-site service subject to assessment. Confirm the warranty, spares, transport and recovery arrangements in the quote, along with recording and remote-access terms. A local service plan matters as much as the advertised motion repertoire.31
Which T800 edition makes sense for custom programming?
Basic’s table does not list secondary-development support. Open Source, Pro and Max do, and those three also list LiDAR. If your project depends on writing your own routines, begin with those configurations, then ask for the supported software interfaces, licence and examples. The name Open Source does not by itself settle the rights to every hardware or software component. Put the required access into the offered package.1
Can T800 carry out a hotel or logistics job without help?
EngineAI names hotel services and logistics as application scenarios. That positioning does not establish an unattended service for a particular site. Describe one complete job, such as moving a specified item between two agreed points, and request a demonstration of the selected edition. Agree who gives commands, how people stay separated from moving hardware and who handles an interrupted task. The maker’s warning about powerful actuators belongs in that operating plan.1
Does the production announcement mean I can order one now?
EngineAI announced a first T800 production batch in May 2026, but the checked sources do not establish a current regional price or delivery contract. Request a dated quotation identifying Basic, Open Source, Pro or Max and the included hand, battery, software and training. Confirm transport, spares and who provides repairs at your destination. The general overseas support policy prioritizes remote help and parts; on-site service remains subject to assessment.213

Sources and notes
- 1. EngineAI T800 current edition tables
The four named edition tables are the specification source. Basic and Open Source list 25 joint motors, Pro 43 including 14 hand motors, and Max 46 including 14 hand motors. The 29-degree-of-freedom headline excludes dexterous hands and is not a total for every edition. Mass is a configuration-dependent 75-85 kg range. The headline describes solid-state lithium and up to four hours, while the tables say lithium and three to five hours. These chemistry and runtime differences remain unresolved; no battery or endurance value is selected. The powerful-actuator warning supplies no numerical safe distance or household certification.

- 2. T800 first production batch
EngineAI’s May 22, 2026 account describes its first T800 batch leaving the Shenzhen production line. This is a maker-reported manufacturing milestone. It does not establish a delivered quantity, achieved annual output, destination stock or an offer for any particular edition.

- 3. EngineAI after-sales V2.0
EngineAI’s general after-sales V2.0 policy concerns authorized channels. Overseas support prioritizes remote assistance and spare parts; on-site work depends on assessment. This does not establish a model-specific warranty duration or a promise of local service. Confirm the applicable contract for the exact product and destination.
