Introducing the FourierGR-2 Robot: More Agile, More Powerful, More Open. Based on extensive first-hand data and valuable feedback, the GR-2 boasts significant upgrades in hardware, design, and software to meet modern demands. Whether it’s for research, industrial applications, or advanced robotics development, the GR-2 is designed to push the boundaries of performance. One of the key advancements in the GR-2 is its integrated cabling system for power and communication. This allows for concealed wires, creating a sleeker, more compact package without compromising functionality. The integration not only simplifies the robot’s architecture but also improves its aesthetic appeal, making it more adaptable for environments where space and design matter. The streamlined design further enhances the ease of maintenance and upgradeability.

The new joint configuration is another highlight of the GR-2. This improvement significantly reduces debugging time and manufacturing costs while enhancing the robot’s transition from AI-driven simulations to real-world applications. By refining the joint mechanics, the GR-2 offers a smoother, more lifelike range of motion, increasing its effectiveness in both research environments and practical deployments. Standing at 175 cm tall and weighing 65 kg, the robot operates with a 2-hour battery life, making it highly efficient for extended tasks. A standout feature of the GR-2 is its 12-DoF dexterous hands, which offer double the dexterity of previous models. Inspired by the intricacies of human anatomy, these hands allow for exceptional precision in performing complex tasks. Whether it’s handling delicate objects or manipulating heavy tools, the GR-2’s hands adapt fluidly to various tasks, providing unparalleled versatility and control.

To power this high level of functionality, GR-2 comes equipped with seven distinct types of Force Sensitive Actuators (FSA). Each actuator is engineered to meet the torque demands of specific joints, ensuring that every movement is both powerful and precise. This design enables the robot to navigate complex tasks, from fine motor manipulations to heavy lifting, with ease. Its speed of 5 km/h makes it ideal for tasks requiring both mobility and dexterity.  Incorporating six array-type tactile sensors, the GR-2 can detect and respond to physical forces, recognize object shapes and materials, and adjust its grip accordingly in real time. This level of sensory input allows the GR-2 to perform optimally in dynamic environments where objects may shift, change, or require delicate handling. The tactile feedback is key to the robot’s adaptability in varied scenarios, from industrial settings to interactive applications.

The robot’s performance is further enhanced by FSA 2.0 technology, which delivers peak torques exceeding 380 N.m, pushing the boundaries of agility and dynamic capability. Additionally, the dual-encoder system doubles control accuracy, ensuring that even under high-pressure situations, GR-2 maintains precise, coordinated movements. This is particularly valuable in fast-paced or hazardous environments where precision is critical. For developers, FourierGR-2 prioritizes ease of use and flexibility. The upgraded Software Development Kit (SDK) offers a robust suite of pre-optimized modules accessible through intuitive APIs. This ensures that developers can quickly integrate the GR-2 into their projects, enabling rapid prototyping, customization, and deployment without the steep learning curve, enhancing creativity and innovation across robotics fields.
