Editorial summaries
Clone Protoclone
Clone Robotics is accepting reservations for the Clone Alpha, a limited first edition of 279 units, through its own website. No purchase price has been published. The reservation availability is verified from the maker's page; the price is not disclosed.
EngineAI SE01
EngineAI's SE01 (from EngineAI, Shenzhen) is a 32-degree-of-freedom research humanoid noted for a neural-network natural-gait walking demonstration. DEPLOY records it at research maturity with no verified deployments: the natural-gait footage is demonstration material, not evidence of autonomous deployment, and DEPLOY cap-flags aggregator framing of SE01 as 'autonomous' or commercially deployed. As a smaller-maker research platform it has no consumer price.
