Overview
The Sa 02 is a companion humanoid robot from EngineAI Robotics (Shenzhen EngineAI Robotics Technology Co., Ltd.), a Chinese robotics company headquartered in Shenzhen and established in 2023. EngineAI introduced the Sa 02 as its first humanoid robot aimed specifically at young people, marketing it as an approachable, character-like machine rather than an industrial or research platform.
The robot is presented with an anime-inspired exterior and an expressive, softly lit face intended to make it feel more like a friendly companion than a piece of equipment. Its stated purpose centers on social companionship and everyday interaction, such as conversation and gesture-based engagement, rather than heavy-duty manipulation or factory tasks.
As of this research, the Sa 02 does not appear on EngineAI's official English product, store, or news pages, which list other models such as SA01, SE01, PM01, T800, JS01 and S2. Available specification and pricing details for the Sa 02 come only from press coverage of EngineAI's announcement and not from a confirmable official manufacturer product page, so they are not treated as verified here.
