Company Claim
EngineAI's robots, including PM01, appeared publicly on patrol alongside Shenzhen police officers, wearing police-branded high-visibility vests at high-traffic public locations. At CES 2026, EngineAI stated PM01 is 'advancing toward scaled deployment' across public transportation support, guided tours and retail services, and automated patrol and inspection tasks
What's Actually Confirmed
Officials explicitly did not characterize the Shenzhen patrol appearance as a formal deployment. Independent reporting describes it as a demonstration tied to ongoing testing, with EngineAI robots closely supervised by engineers during public appearances — consistent with early-stage real-world testing, not autonomous or operational police use. The CES 2026 'scaled deployment' language is forward-looking company intent; no new named customer, site, or confirmed deployment beyond the existing Shenzhen patrol appearance was found
