GR-1
Last updated:
The Fourier GR-1 is a pioneering mass-produced humanoid robot engineered for practical applications in research, healthcare, and industry. Standing at human height with 44 degrees of freedom, it replicates human-like proportions and bipedal locomotion, enabling fluid walking at 5 km/h, running, stair climbing, and obstacle navigation via peak torque of 230 N·m. Equipped with six RGB cameras for pure vision perception using BEV and Transformer models, it generates real-time 3D occupancy grids for precise environmental understanding. GR-1 features dexterous hands with 11 DOF for grasping varied objects, powered by Fourier Smart Actuators (FSA) that integrate motor, driver, and encoder. Advanced AI with large language models supports natural conversations, emotional expressions via high-resolution displays, and task automation. Its lightweight 55 kg frame balances agility and 15-50 kg carrying capacity, ideal for human-robot collaboration in dynamic settings.
