$5,300Commercial$5,300CommercialEngineAI SA02 / SAO2 (Aug 2025): anime-inspired companion humanoid for young users. 125 cm / 25 kg, 26+2 DoF, on-device LLM, dual HD cameras, high-fidelity speakers. $5,300 entry price.
SAO2 (officially SA02) is EngineAI's lifestyle companion humanoid — the cheapest full-body humanoid in the company's lineup at $5,300. The 125 cm / 25 kg chassis has 26 powered joints + 2 finger DoF, an on-device LLM, dual HD cameras and high-fidelity speakers. Pre-orders opened in August 2025 (technode.com).
Marketing positions SA02 as a friendly character rather than a tool — anime-inspired silhouette, softly lit face screen, and dialogue habits oriented toward "young people's first humanoid robot". It can answer homework questions, recognise faces, DJ a karaoke session and remember preferences over time. Critic's note: dexterity is minimal beyond 2-DoF fingers — manipulation is largely symbolic.
