Unitree and Fourier Bring Humanoids to the Masses with Next-Gen Bots
Two of China’s leaders in humanoid robotics are unleashing their potentially game-changing next generation machines into the world.
Fourier GR-2
The Fourier GR-2 is a humanoid robot developed by Shanghai-based Fourier Intelligence as part of its GR series focused on rehabilitation and research. Unveiled in 2024, the GR-2 stands about 165 cm (5 feet 5 inches) tall and weighs around 65 kg (143 lbs). It features 43 degrees of freedom, advanced motion control, and full-body force feedback, allowing precise, humanlike movement. Designed for use in rehabilitation training, robotics research, and AI development, the GR-2 combines modular hardware with cloud-based control systems.
