The Chinese robotics firm staged a ‘simulated battle’, where its humanoid machine delivers a very real-looking kick to its boss, El.kz cites Super Car Blondie.
The clip spread fast, partly because it looks outrageous, and partly because it was designed to answer a lingering accusation.
For EngineAi, this was a way to show the world that they mean business.
Over the past year, EngineAi has shared a string of slick robot demos showing its humanoids sprinting, sparring, and moving with uncanny fluidity.
Inevitably, skeptics cried foul, suggesting the robots were either assisted by wires, selectively composited, or outright CGI creations dressed up as hardware.
After all, the Tesla Optimus robot recently showed off its best movement yet, and it was merely a light jog.
In response to this, the company decided to settle the debate the old-fashioned way: by putting a human body on the line.
In the new video, the EngineAI CEO steps into a staged combat scenario with the T800 robot.
There’s no cinematic lighting or rapid-fire cuts this time; just a wide, continuous view.
After a brief exchange, the robot launches a forceful kick that sends the EngineAi CEO tumbling backward onto the mat.
He pops back up shortly afterward, uninjured but visibly winded, grinning as if to say, ‘Yes, that really happened’.
EngineAi framed the stunt as proof of the robot’s balance, power, and real-world physics, emphasizing that the motion, timing, and impact were all captured in-camera.
