Fourier intelligence launches new humanoid

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.
