Company Claim

EngineAI targeted T800 shipments from June 2026, positioned for internal pilots with industrial partners. Per Expolume's direct reporting (Dec 7, 2025), early T800 units 'have already appeared in Shenzhen retail stores as ‘Cyber Staff’.' Separately, EngineAI launched URKL (Ultimate Robot Knock-out Legend) — a full-scale humanoid combat league using standardized T800 units for every team — which opened July 16, 2026 at Shenzhen's Nanshan Cultural and Sports Center

What's Actually Confirmed

The Shenzhen retail placements are described as 'early versions' by an independent trade outlet, without unit counts or named stores. URKL is extensively and independently confirmed (tier-1 press, Wikipedia, a dedicated tracking site), but some coverage's 'world's first' framing is inaccurate: Unitree Robotics ran a widely-covered, also 'world's-first'-billed humanoid combat tournament ('Iron Fist King: Awakening') in Hangzhou over a year earlier (May 25, 2025), though using teleoperated robots in a single event rather than an autonomous ongoing league. URKL's more defensible distinction is being the first humanoid combat competition to require full robot autonomy in an ongoing league format. Separately, URKL itself is an entertainment/marketing competition, not an industrial or commercial task deployment. No named industrial partner or formal industrial pilot site has been disclosed. Some early press coverage speculated a Shenzhen police patrol appearance (Feb 2025) might involve T800, but the confirmed dimensions of that robot match PM01, not T800 — this record does not credit T800 with that appearance
