AI, Data & Privacy
Unknown - data handling not publicly disclosed
The manufacturer has not publicly disclosed where or how user data is stored and processed. For EU residents concerned about GDPR compliance, this lack of transparency is itself a consideration. We recommend contacting the manufacturer directly to request their privacy policy and data processing details before purchase.
How to keep it private
Dual NVIDIA + Intel processors handle perception, navigation, and motor control on-device. The open-source SDK and ROS compatibility allow fully local development and operation without cloud dependencies. OTA firmware updates require internet but normal operation does not.
Available privacy controls
Open training code allows developers to inspect, modify, and control all data processing on the robot
Gigabit Ethernet and USB 3.0 interfaces support fully local development and data processing without cloud services
Engine AI SE01 is developer-friendly with open-source training code, making it one of the more transparent robots for privacy-conscious users. Run models locally via the supported frameworks (Isaac, MuJoCo, ROS, ONNX) to avoid cloud data transmission. Note that Engine AI is a Shenzhen-based startup (founded October 2023) with limited public documentation on data handling. The Chinese-language privacy policy should be reviewed with translation if operating in privacy-regulated environments. Disable OTA updates if you want to prevent any network communication.
