Fourier Intelligence GR-2

Fourier Intelligence GR-2 enters 2026 as the successor to the world's first mass-produced humanoid robot, GR-1, which deployed over 100 units globally before most Western competitors shipped a single commercial unit. GR-2 upgrades to 53 total DOF—double the hand DOF at 12 per hand—and doubles battery capacity for 2-hour operation, achieving 380 N·m peak torque and a maximum speed of 5 km/h. At 1.75 meters and 63 kg, its NVIDIA Isaac Gym integration enables competitive AI development using the same GPU-accelerated infrastructure as other leading platforms. GR-2's projected mass-production price of $150,000–170,000 remains a premium price point that may limit its appeal. With over 100 GR-1 units already deployed across automotive and logistics sectors, Fourier leads China's humanoid market by deployment count, but GR-2's limited international brand recognition and 2026 production start keep it lower on this list.
