Fourier GR-2

Full-Size General-Purpose Humanoid Robot

The Fourier GR-2 is Fourier's second-generation humanoid robot. It stands 175 cm and weighs approximately 63 kg; the body carries 29 degrees of freedom (head 2, waist 1, legs 6+6, arms 7+7), and with the 12-DoF dexterous hand configuration the total actuator count rises to 53. Walking speed is 5 km/h and single-arm payload approximately 3 kg. FSA 2.0 dual-encoder actuators produce a maximum joint torque of up to 436 N·m, with 23-bit encoders in the legs and 24-bit in the arms. An approximately 950 Wh removable lithium-ion battery provides about two hours of operation. Six array-type tactile sensors in the fingers sense contact force and distinguish object shape and material. Robotlar.org assesses sourcing and alternatives together with organizations that have a GR-2 requirement.

Overview

The Fourier GR-2 is the second generation of the GRx humanoid series. Built on lessons from the first generation and customer feedback, it brings significant upgrades in hardware, design and software: more agile manipulation, improved movement and a more open platform.

Mechanically: dimensions of 1750 × 552 × 275 mm, a weight of approximately 63 kg and a 1520 mm arm span (up to 1920 mm with dexterous hands). The body carries 29 degrees of freedom: head 2, waist 1, legs 6+6, arms 7+7. With dexterous hands the total actuator count reaches 53. Walking speed is 5 km/h and single-arm payload approximately 3 kg.

On the drive side there are FSA 2.0 actuators: a dual-encoder system, a maximum joint torque of 436 N·m and 23-bit resolution in the legs with 24-bit in the arms. Power output is approximately 930 W at a 39.6 V supply. The battery is an approximately 950 Wh removable lithium-ion pack; it gives close to two hours of operation, charges in about two hours and lasts over 500 cycles at 80% depth of discharge.

Perception includes a stereo camera supporting SLAM and pure-vision sensing, a 6-axis IMU and six array-type tactile sensors in the fingers. Compute runs on a 14-core Intel Core i7 under Ubuntu 20.04, with an optional 275 TOPS module. The Fourier Toolkit provides pre-optimized modules supporting the NVIDIA Isaac Lab, ROS and MuJoCo frameworks. Real-time teleoperation with Pico and Vision Pro headsets is supported.

Fourier has shifted its current focus to the GR-3 and GRW; the GR-2 product page has been removed from the site while the brochure remains in the download centre.

For organizations with a GR-2 requirement we assess sourcing, where the product sits in its life cycle and the alternatives deliverable today transparently.

Body Diagram and Key Components

The published body diagram marks six main components: visual perception with an open hardware interface supporting SLAM and pure-vision sensing, a detachable battery giving two hours of average runtime, a 3 kg single-arm load capacity, integrated cabling with concealed wires that eases modularization, the dual-encoded FSA 2.0 actuator with peak torque exceeding 436 N·m, and the second-generation 12-DoF hand carrying six array-type tactile sensors. Walking speed is stated as 5 km/h.

Body Diagram and Key Components

12-Degree-of-Freedom Dexterous Hand

Equipped with six array-type tactile sensors, the hand measures contact force, identifies an object's shape and material and adjusts its grip in real time. That is the basis of precise manipulation in a dynamic environment: the same grip force cannot be applied to a cardboard box and a glass, so force has to be measured at the moment of contact. In the dexterous hand configuration the total actuator count rises to 53.

12-Degree-of-Freedom Dexterous Hand

FSA 2.0 Actuator

With peak torque reaching 436 N·m, the FSA 2.0 determines the body's agility and dynamic capability. The dual-encoder system doubles control accuracy; two separate measurements, one on the motor side and one on the output side, allow gear backlash to be compensated inside the control loop. Resolution is 23-bit in the legs and 24-bit in the arms. That makes precise motion possible even under high load.

ENGINEERING ANALYSIS

Technical Analysis of What Changed in the Second-Generation Humanoid

From 32 Degrees of Freedom to 29: Why the Drop

In the first-generation GR-1 the body carries 32 degrees of freedom: waist 3, head 3. In the GR-2 that number falls to 29: waist 1, head 2. This is not a regression but a choice. A three-axis waist raises control complexity and mass at the body's most critical point; a single-axis waist keeps rotation while simplifying the centre of mass. The freed budget moved to the arm and hand: with the 12-DoF dexterous hand the GR-2 reaches 53 total actuators against 44 on the GR-1. So while body joints fell, the manipulation share rose.

What Dual Encoders Buy

What distinguishes the FSA 2.0 is the dual encoder. In a single-encoder actuator the measurement sits on the motor shaft, so backlash and flex after the gearbox stay invisible to the control loop. When a second encoder measures at the output shaft, that error becomes visible and can be compensated. Resolution is 23-bit in the legs and 24-bit in the arms: 24 bits divide one full turn into roughly 16.8 million steps. Choosing higher resolution for the arm reflects that force control matters more in manipulation than in walking.

Its Position as a Research Platform

The GR-2 is positioned as a body open to development, with an open hardware interface, Ethernet communication, Ubuntu 20.04 and the Fourier Toolkit supporting the NVIDIA Isaac Lab, ROS and MuJoCo frameworks. An optional 275 TOPS computing module allows learning-based policies to run on the robot. Real-time teleoperation with Pico and Vision Pro headsets is the standard route to collecting data for imitation learning. Approximately two hours of runtime is reasonable for laboratory sessions but short for a field shift.

ENGINEERING EVALUATION

Engineering Assessment

The GR-2 is the generation in the GRx family with the most investment in manipulation. A 436 N·m peak torque and the dual-encoder FSA 2.0, together with a 12-DoF hand and six array-type tactile sensors in the fingers, make a solid base for grasping trials. The open hardware interface, support for ROS, MuJoCo and Isaac Lab, and an Ubuntu 20.04 base are the right configuration for university and R&D use. The limits: approximately two hours of runtime is short for a field shift, a 3 kg single-arm capacity does not cover industrial handling, and Fourier has removed the GR-2 product page from its site as focus shifted to the GR-3 and GRW. Organizations looking for a long-lived platform need to factor that transition in.
