The official launch came in July 2023 at the World Artificial Intelligence Conference in Shanghai; according to Wikipedia, small batches had already gone to universities and AI companies. Fourier's company history calls GR-1 the industry's first mass-produced humanoid.","In 2024 Fourier worked on a vision-only perception system for GR-1 for real-time mapping, navigation and obstacle avoidance. Its successor, GR-2, arrived at the end of September 2024."]},{"h":"Hardware","p":["GR-1 uses Fourier's own FSA drives, and Fourier describes its body as replicating human-like degrees of freedom. The full GR-1 spec sheet is no longer on Fourier's site, and figures quoted elsewhere (DoF count, payload) vary, so catalogue values such as 40 DoF or a 50 kg payload should be treated with caution.","For comparison, Fourier's brochure lists the successor GR-2 at 175 cm, about 63 kg, up to 53 DoF, about 3 kg per hand and up to 5 km/h."]},{"h":"Use cases and deployments","p":["Fourier describes several GR-1 pilots: with China Construction Bank's Shanghai branch, training the robot as a reception and guidance assistant; with SAIC-GM, testing obstacle avoidance and high-voltage component assembly in a plant; and in rehabilitation, where Fourier built diagnosis and training programmes around the robot."]},{"h":"Manufacturer","p":["Fourier was founded in 2015 by Alex Gu, a Shanghai Jiao Tong University graduate. It began with upper-limb rehabilitation robots (2016) and the X1 exoskeleton (2017) and has worked on humanoids since 2019. It is headquartered in Shanghai."]},{"h":"Price and availability","p":["Fourier does not publish a GR-1 price.
