Overview

Fourier Intelligence (Shanghai Fourier Intelligent Technology Co., Ltd.) is a Chinese robotics company specializing in rehabilitation robots and general-purpose humanoids. The company developed the GR-1, China's first Humanoid robot to reach mass production in 2023, followed by the GR-2 and GR-3. Fourier raised nearly 800 million yuan (~$110M) in a Series E round in early 2025 and launched China's first open-source humanoid (Fourier N1).

Retired

Fourier GR-1

The Fourier GR-1 was China's first humanoid robot to reach mass production, launched in 2023 by Fourier Intelligence. Standing 165 cm tall with 40 degrees of freedom, the GR-1 was validated in rehabilitation centers and industrial settings before the GR-2 (September 2024) and GR-3 Care-Bot (August 2025) succeeded it. Hands feature 11 degrees of freedom for precise manipulation.

Current platform

Fourier ExoMotus M4

Powered bilateral lower-limb rehabilitation exoskeleton with motorized hip/knee actuators and AI-adaptive passive/assistive/active/resistive modes selectable by patient stage. Commercial (clinical, Asia-Pacific focus). (Distinct from Fourier's GR humanoid line.)

Current platform

Fourier GR-3

Fourier Intelligence's current flagship full-size humanoid and first explicit 'Care-bot,' the third generation of its GRx series (unveiled 2025; US debut at CES 2026). Stands 165 cm, weighs 71 kg, with 55 degrees of freedom, a soft-touch shell, a full-perception multimodal interaction system (vision, sound-source localization, haptics), and a dual hot-swappable battery system. Positioned for eldercare, rehabilitation, guided tours, and social-companion roles.

Current platform

Fourier GR-2

Fourier Intelligence's second-generation GRx humanoid (2024), since succeeded by the current flagship GR-3. A full-size bipedal research/general-purpose humanoid that improved on mobility and roughly doubled battery life over the original GR-1 (2023, reported as China's first mass-produced humanoid). Retained here as a prior-generation model in the GRx lineage.

Explainers

Plain-language answers to the questions people ask about Fourier Intelligence, from DEPLOY’s explainer library. Each is written in the language of the question and cross-checked against this registry.

What is the best humanoid robot to buy in 2026?
There is no single best humanoid robot in 2026; the right pick depends on which of the five availability tiers matches your use case. For consumer home use, 1X NEO is the only verified-available option ($20,000 outright or $499/month subscription with a six-month minimum; late-2026 US delivery). For research and developer access, the Unitree G1 is the practical choice. For warehouse and factory pilots, Agility Digit, Apptronik Apollo, and Figure 03 are the platforms with documented commercial deployments. For elite R&D, Boston Dynamics Atlas remains the dynamic-motion benchmark. Tesla Optimus remains consumer-promised but not for sale.Read the full explainer →
Who are the leading humanoid robot makers?
By active commercial deployment activity in 2026, the leading humanoid robot makers are Tesla (Optimus, factory pilots), Figure AI (02, BMW pilot), Agility Robotics (Digit, warehouse operators), Apptronik (Apollo, Mercedes-Benz pilot), 1X Technologies (Neo, consumer pre-launch), Boston Dynamics (Atlas, R&D), and Unitree Robotics (G1/H-series, research). A fast-growing Chinese cohort (UBTech, Xiaomi, XPeng, Fourier, EngineAI, and others) is shipping platforms at increasingly competitive price points.Read the full explainer →
What is Fourier Intelligence and the GR-3 humanoid?
Fourier Intelligence is a Chinese humanoid robotics company headquartered in Shanghai with distinctive technical heritage in lower-limb exoskeleton and rehabilitation robotics. The GR-3 is the company's third-generation general-purpose humanoid platform, evolved from the GR-1 and GR-2 predecessors. Fourier occupies a distinctive position in the Chinese humanoid cohort: medical and rehabilitation engineering heritage transitioning to general-purpose humanoid product, with research-platform commercial positioning rather than the factory-deployment focus of UBTech Walker S2 or the research-tools pricing of Unitree G1 and R1.Read the full explainer →
