Fourier Intelligence, a Chinese tech startup specializing in rehabilitation robotics and artificial intelligence, on Thursday unveiled its first-generation humanoid robot at the ongoing World Artificial Intelligence Conference in Shanghai
Developed with cutting-edge proprietary technologies, the GR-1 is among a handful of Chinese humanoid robots that can be commercialized at scale, the Shanghai-based firm said in a press release. The GR-1 has immense potential across a wide spectrum of uses, including industrial production, rehabilitative care, scientific research, and household service, it added.
The GR-1 is 1.65 meters tall, weighs 55 kilograms, and has 40 degrees of freedom all over its body. With a peak torque of 300 nanometers generated by a joint module installed at the hip, the robot can walk at five kilometers an hour and carry objects of 50 kg.
“General-purpose humanoid robots will gradually become a mainstream segment of the industry going forward,” said Alex Gu, founder and chief executive of Fourier Intelligence.
With a bionic structure and human-like motion control, the GR-1 can walk on two legs, avoid obstacles, stably climb and descend slopes, and withstand shocks, the Beijing-based firm noted.
Compared to a hydraulic power system, the GR-1 is more cost-efficient and suitable for commercial mass production, the firm said, and also represents a more environmentally friendly choice thanks to lower energy and resource consumption.
Set up in 2015, Fourier Intelligence released China's first commercial lower extremity exoskeleton. in 2017.
Isaac Steve was born and raised in Port Harcourt, Nigeria.As a young boy growing up, he read about famous inventors like Alexander Graham Bell,Thomas Edison,Micheal Faraday etc. This made him resolve that one day he was going to be an inventor as well.His curiosity and passion for technology eventually led him to pursue a degree in electrical and electronics in the university and he is currently an undergrad. Isaac Steve's vision for the future is truly inspiring. He believes that technology can be used to address some of the Africa's most pressing challenges, such as poverty, hunger, and poor access to healthcare. He also believes that Africa has the potential to be a global leader in technological innovation. His goal is to help spur a new revolution in Africa which he calls the "GREY REVOLUTION". The "GREY REVOLUTION" he believes is a movement with it's focus on several key areas, including education,technology, infrastructure, research and de...
