These advanced machines, named PM01, have drawn widespread attention for their ability to interact with people and perform complex tasks. Developed by EngineAI, a Shenzhen-based startup founded in 2023, these robots are part of China’s growing efforts to integrate technology into daily life. Standing at 1.38 meters tall and weighing 40kg, the PM01 robots are equipped with police vests and advanced sensors（传感器）. A viral video showed them marching in formation with human officers, shaking hands with passersby, and waving at crowds. Their smooth movements, powered by reinforcement learning algorithms（运算法则）, allow them to walk naturally and even perform front flips. Each robot costs 88,000 yuan (about $12,000), making them a cost-effective addition to police forces. The PM01 uses LiDAR technology to map surroundings and navigate busy streets. Its chest panel displays information, while glowing eye-like lights resemble those of fictional heroes like "RoboCop." These features not only help the robot work effectively but also make it approachable to the public. EngineAI has already made waves with its SE01 model, which can squat, jump, and retrieve objects. While the PM01 is currently limited to Shenzhen, similar robots in Lianyungang, Jiangsu province, have proven successful. One wheeled patrol robot there helped reunite a lost three-year-old child with their family, highlighting the robots’ practical value. Public reactions to these robots are mixed. Some praise their human-like abilities, while others question their long-term impact. "This is the first Chinese robot that walks upright like a human," commented one netizen. Many hope to see more household robots in the future, envisioning a time when affordable machines could replace human workers. However, concerns about job loss and privacy have also been raised. As China continues to innovate in robotics, these humanoid police robots represent a blend of technology and public service. Whether they will become a permanent part of daily life or remain a niche tool remains to be seen. 1.What technology helps PM01 navigate streets?
