China’s Engine AI Unveils World’s First Humanoid Robot That Masters Frontflip

China’s Engine AI has introduced the world’s first humanoid robot, PM01, capable of performing a frontflip, marking a major milestone in robotic agility and human-like movement.

Key Features of PM01:

  1. Advanced Mobility:

    • PM01 features 24 degrees of freedom (DOF) for fluid and dynamic movement.
    • 12 DOF in joint motors, allowing flexibility and agility in motion.

  2. First Humanoid to Perform a Frontflip:

    • The robot has achieved controlled aerial rotation, making it the first of its kind to execute a frontflip.
    • Demonstrates high stability in landing and recovery post-flip.

  3. Cutting-Edge AI & Control System:

    • Integrated AI-based motion control for smooth, natural movements.
    • Uses advanced trajectory planning algorithms for real-time adjustments.

  4. Lightweight & Durable Structure:

    • Designed with lightweight materials for better performance.
    • Strong, flexible joints to withstand high-impact movements.

  5. Potential Applications:

    • Rescue operations: Enhanced mobility in disaster zones.
    • Sports training: Helps in motion studies for athletes.
    • Entertainment & robotics competitions: Could be used in robotic acrobatics.

Significance of This Development:

  • Advances humanoid robotics by improving agility and real-time adaptability.
  • Brings robots closer to human-like movement, a crucial step for general-purpose robotics.
  • Potential to revolutionize industries like robotics sports, physical assistance, and AI-driven automation.

PM01’s breakthrough achievement sets a new benchmark in humanoid robotics, pushing the boundaries of what machines can do in real-world scenarios.

IN-SPACe CANSAT & Model Rocketry India Student Competition 2024–25: A Giant Leap for Student Innovation

Image
In a remarkable step towards strengthening India’s STEM education framework, the Astronautical Society of India (ASI), in collaboration with the Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) and the Indian National Space Promotion and Authorization Center (IN-SPACe), has launched the IN-SPACe CANSAT and Model Rocketry India Student Competition 2024–25 . This unique competition is crafted for undergraduate students across India, providing them with an opportunity to engage in experiential learning through the design, fabrication, and launch of CANSATs—can-sized satellites—using model rocketry platforms. The event held on June 14, 2025 , in Tamkuhi Raj, Kushinagar, Uttar Pradesh , was not a full-fledged rocket launch carrying an actual payload. Instead, it served as a critical site and systems validation test in preparation for the upcoming national student competition. This test focused on ensuring the readiness of launch site infrastructure, safety protocols, telemetry systems, and track...
