Walking through Shenzhen's technology district, this robot is getting a lot of attention.

The PM01 is the creation of Engine AI, a startup with its office here.

At 138cm tall, and weighing around 40kg, the robot can walk continuously for four hours.

It is designed to look physically strong, but the company is also focusing on its emotional side.

The PM01 made international headlines, when EngineAI released this video of it performing a front-flip, a world first, which took the company ten days of learning to achieve.

The robot could have widespread applications, from helping in disaster zones, where they can navigate through rubble, fire-fighting and carrying rescue equipment.

But human companionship is the ultimate goal, and EngineAI hopes to give them cognitive abilities soon.

While that ultimate goal may be up for philosophical debate, the speed in which China's robotics companies are progressing in humanoid robot design is remarkable to see.
