Frequently Asked Questions About Fourier GR-1 / GR-2

What is Fourier GR-1 / GR-2 used for?

Fourier’s humanoid robots are designed primarily for healthcare and rehabilitation applications. They assist physical therapists with patient exercises, provide partial weight support during rehabilitation sessions, guide range-of-motion exercises, and support elder care and post-surgery recovery programs. Industrial task pilots are also ongoing alongside clinical applications.

Who manufactures Fourier GR-1 / GR-2?

Fourier Intelligence, a Chinese robotics company with deep roots in medical rehabilitation robotics, manufactures the GR series. The company’s heritage in clinical-grade rehabilitation devices informs the design of its humanoid robots. Fourier is targeting mass production scale in 2026, with units available through direct sales and authorized distributors.

How much does Fourier GR-1 / GR-2 cost?

The Fourier GR-1 is priced between $150,000 and $170,000. GR-2 pricing is available by contacting Fourier directly through fourier.com. Units are sold through direct enterprise sales and authorized robotics distributors who handle installation, integration, and staff training for healthcare and industrial deployment environments.

What are the key specifications of Fourier GR-1 / GR-2?

The GR-2 has 53 degrees of freedom and a 50 kg payload capacity, the highest of any healthcare-focused humanoid. The GR-1 stands 1.75 m (5 feet 9 inches) tall and weighs 63 kg (138 lbs). Walking speed reaches 1.5 m/s (5.4 km/h). Both models use RGBD cameras for perception and support a ROS 2 open SDK.

Where is Fourier GR-1 / GR-2 currently deployed?
