Fourier Intelligence

Fourier Intelligence is a Shanghai-based humanoid robot maker that started in rehabilitation robotics before expanding into its general-purpose GR humanoid series. It launched the GR-1 in December 2023 — billed at the time as the world's first mass-produced general-purpose humanoid — followed by the GR-2 within a year, and in early 2025 raised a Series E of nearly RMB 800 million with backers including Pudong Venture Capital and Prosperity7, the fund backed by Saudi Aramco's venture arm, per a 十字路口Crossing survey . While peers like Unitree emphasize raw performance, Fourier has leaned into companionship: its GR-3 "Care-bot," unveiled August 2025 after a WAIC appearance, is an interactive, huggable robot with a dual-path response system pairing quick reactions with LLM-based deep reasoning . It was also named among the first global strategic customers of D-Robotics' S600 embodied-AI compute platform, alongside AgiBot-affiliated and other leading robotics players . The GR line targets industrial and household commercialization through mass production and deepened AI collaboration with Nvidia, though 十字路口Crossing notes the company still faces a crowded field of some 50 domestic humanoid rivals on stability, positioning, and cost .
