Part 5/12:
While OpenMind pushes for a software ecosystem, Engine AI is taking a different route, focusing on affordable, personalized humanoid robots designed for home use. Their flagship model, the SAO2, is a sleek, friendly humanoid standing about 1.25 meters tall and weighing just 25 kilos, priced competitively at $5,300.
Unlike industrial robots, the SAO2 emphasizes personality, companionship, and everyday functionality. It features 26+2 degrees of freedom, enabling natural gestures and micro-movements that make interactions feel authentic. Equipped with a large language model (LLM), it remembers context, adapts its personality over time, and personalizes interactions based on user preferences.
