EngineAI PM01 vs Fourier N1
Verdict
Two cheap Chinese humanoids on sale for research and education. The PM01 (138 cm, 40 kg) impressed with its dynamics and speeds up to 2 m/s; the Fourier N1 (130 cm, 38 kg) is a compact open platform with a very high declared speed (3.5 m/s) and an established humanoid maker behind it. Facts vs hype: both are affordable challengers — the N1 sells on speed and openness, the PM01 on nimble movement.
