Fourier Intelligence GR-2

Fourier Intelligence GR-2 enters 2026 as the successor to GR-1, one of the earlier mass-produced humanoid robots, which reached universities and AI research labs before many Western competitors had shipped a commercial unit. GR-2 upgrades to 53 degrees of freedom total, with a detachable battery that extends runtime over its predecessor. At 1.75 meters and 63 kg, it's designed to work with NVIDIA's robotics simulation and AI tooling for competitive development speed. GR-2's mass-production pricing is expected to land at a premium that may limit its appeal outside China. With GR-1 units already deployed across automotive and logistics sectors, Fourier is among the leaders in 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.
