Fourier Intelligence has presented the GR-2: a new version of its humanoid robot
Fourier Intelligence has announced its new GR-2 humanoid robot, which surpasses its predecessor GR-1 in every aspect. The robot is equipped with electric arms with 12 degrees of freedom and tactile sensors, allowing it to adapt to different objects.
Compared to the GR-1, which was introduced last July, the new model looks more complete and robust. It includes similar handrails but with more powerful motors. The GR-2 arms are electrically powered and can dynamically adjust the gripping force to adapt to different object shapes and materials. However, each arm can support a maximum load of 3 kg, which limits its use in warehouse environments.
The new robot is easily programmable using programs such as ROS, Mujoco and Isaac Lab, making it a handy tool for developers. Built-in artificial intelligence systems allow GR-2 to learn through hands-on experience and observation. The manipulators can be controlled both remotely through virtual reality and by demonstrating movements.
