Fourier GR-2

What it is

GR-2 is the second-generation humanoid robot from Fourier. The company describes it as a general-purpose humanoid robot, meaning it is designed to take on tasks across different settings rather than being built for one fixed job^[1]. It was released in 2024 and entered mass production in the same year^[1][2].

Where it comes from

GR-2 belongs to Fourier's GRx series, which the company develops as part of a full-stack robotics technology stack. That same stack is also aimed at hospitals, communities, and commercial and industrial settings^[1]. Within the product line, the GR-1 and GR-2 generations cover uses such as guided reception and consulting, as well as academic research^[2].

Moving a humanoid robot from a working prototype to volume production is mostly an engineering and manufacturing step: structural parts, joint modules, electronics and assembly have to be settled enough that units can be built repeatedly. That step does not by itself change what a robot can do, but it decides how quickly machines reach the people who use them.

What it is used for

The two points Fourier puts forward for GR-2 are that it is general-purpose and that it is deliverable: a common platform for different kinds of work, and a product whose mass production began in its release year^[1][2]. Of the applications named for the GR-1 and GR-2 generations, guided reception and consulting are service tasks that put the robot in front of people, while academic research treats it more as a platform that can be used and modified repeatedly^[2].

Place in the line

Fourier's milestone timeline places the release and mass production of the GR-3 series in 2025, exactly one year after GR-2^[1]. Further out, the company's 2026 plans list a brain-computer-interface embodied rehabilitation port solution and the start of a related joint innovation programme^[1]. Read together, these entries describe the GRx series as a line that advances year by year: each generation is released and manufactured in turn, and the surrounding stack keeps reaching into new settings, from service and research to rehabilitation^[1].
