Fourier GR-1 Review: The First Fourier Humanoid, Not a G1

GR-1 is Fourier’s earlier full-size humanoid. Not Unitree G1. Not Fourier G1. Not GR-2.

Fourier GR-1 Review: The First Fourier Humanoid, Not a G1

Quick Answer

GR-1 is Fourier Intelligence’s first widely shown full-size humanoid. It is not Unitree’s G1, and it is not Fourier’s own G1 rehab-adjacent listing. The current Fourier humanoid to read after this page is GR-2. A 9.0 on GR-1 was template scoring.

Consumer readiness 0.5 / 10
Autonomy confidence Demo / supervised Walking and service-style clips, not a published job.
Best for Fourier product-line history
Biggest concern Name collision with two different G1 robots

What it is

Shanghai medical-robotics company Fourier Intelligence followed rehab exoskeletons with a full-size general-purpose humanoid they called GR-1. Public positioning was research, healthcare and service. Our profile still lists availability as announced and every major spec cell as not verified — that is the honest card.

What is published

Company launch videos and show-floor coverage from 2023–2024. Fourier later put weight on GR-2 (their live product URL). We will not copy Unitree G1 numbers (35 kg class, $13.5K starting talk) onto this page. Those are a different robot from a different city.

Flaws

No public price, no independent duty-cycle, and a naming mess (GR-1 vs Fourier G1 vs Unitree G1). Healthcare and service were pitches, not published clinical or hotel deployments we can score.

Real-world usefulness

Use this page to stop mixing Fourier’s first humanoid with Unitree’s developer biped. If you are actually shopping Fourier, open the GR-2 review and Fourier’s current GR-2 page. Do not write a PO that only says “G1” or “GR-1.”

FAQ

Is GR-1 the Unitree G1?

No.

Is GR-1 the Fourier G1?

No. Fourier G1 is a separate, thinner listing. GR-1 is the first full-size Fourier humanoid.

Should I buy GR-1 or GR-2?

Start with GR-2. Treat GR-1 as the earlier platform.
