Chinese firm eases humanoid, legged robot development with new suite

EngineAI Robotics, a Shenzhen-based Chinese firm, has launched EngineAI RL Workspace, an open-source, modular reinforcement learning platform tailored specifically for legged robotics development. This comprehensive suite includes dual frameworks—a training code repository and a deployment code repository—that together provide an end-to-end solution from algorithm training to real-world application. The platform is designed to enhance development efficiency through reusable logic structures, a unified single-algorithm executor for both training and inference, and decoupled algorithms and environments that enable seamless iteration without interface changes. The EngineAI RL Workspace integrates the entire development pipeline with four core components: environment modules, algorithm engines, shared toolkits, and integration layers, each independently encapsulated to facilitate multi-person collaboration and reduce communication overhead. Additional features include dynamic recording systems for capturing training and inference videos, intelligent version management to maintain experiment consistency, and detailed user guides to support rapid onboarding. At CES 2025, EngineAI showcased humanoid robots like the SE01, a versatile 5.
