About GR-2

Fourier's GR-2 General-Purpose Humanoid Robot stands 1.75 meters tall, weighs 63 kilograms, and has up to 53 Degrees of Freedom covering its entire body. It is equipped with the new FSA 2.0 Actuator and fully self-developed Dexterous Hands, supporting more flexible upper limb manipulation, a more powerful dynamic system, and a more open development platform. It has currently achieved experimental applications in fields such as guidance and consultation, academic research, industrial manufacturing, and medical rehabilitation.


Product Composition

  • Overall Structure: The GR-2 General-Purpose Humanoid Robot consists of main components like the head, torso, arms, dexterous hands, waist, and legs. Its whole body possesses up to 53 Degrees of Freedom, enabling it to perform complex action sequences.

  • Head: Equipped with 2 Degrees of Freedom (head rotation joint and head pitch joint), integrating visual perception modules, voice interaction modules, and speaker components, etc., providing the robot with basic environmental perception and human-computer interaction capabilities.

  • Torso: The torso integrates the Robot Main Computer and the Power Management Module, undertaking the core functions of system computation control and energy distribution management.

  • Arms: A single arm design includes the shoulder joint, elbow joint, and wrist joint, providing 7 Degrees of Freedom, ensuring a wide range of motion in space and highly flexible operational capability.

  • Dexterous Hands: Under standard configuration, each hand has 6 Degrees of Freedom; An enhanced version with 12 Degrees of Freedom is optionally available to support high-precision, refined manipulation tasks.

  • Waist: Features a rotational joint with 1 Degree of Freedom, supporting the robot's overall horizontal turning movement, enhancing its ability to adjust direction during operations.

  • Legs: Each leg is equipped with a combination of joints providing 6 Degrees of Freedom, ensuring the robot maintains a stable posture and achieves flexible movement under complex terrain conditions.


Coordinate System, Joint Rotation Axes, and Joint Zero Points

GR-2's joint rotation coordinate system uses the right-hand coordinate system. The color codes for each axis are as shown in the figure below: X-axis is red, Y-axis is green, Z-axis is blue. The figure also includes information on joint rotation axes and zero point positions.
