Editorial summaries
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.
K2 Bumblebee
Kepler Robotics describes the K2 (Bumblebee) as commercially available and in mass production, priced at about $34,000 (RMB 248,000) per unit per the company's official announcement. Most volume is sold through enterprise framework agreements rather than individual retail. The price is verified from Kepler's own release.
