What Fourier does
Fourier (legally Shanghai Fourier Intelligent Technology Co., Ltd.) is a Shanghai-based full-stack robotics company operating through three integrated product lines: humanoid robots (the GRx series — GR-1, GR-2, GR-3, and N1), a rehabilitation product family (RehabHub platform, MetaMotus Galileo biomechanical analysis, plus a suite of limb-specific devices including ArmMotus, WristMotus, ExoMotus, AnkleMotus, CycleMotus, AirFortis, OTParvos, and EXOPS), and proprietary components (the FSA actuator and the FDH6 dexterous hand). Core technology combines multimodal perception (visual, audio, tactile with 31 pressure sensors), a hybrid decision architecture fusing reflexive control with advanced language model reasoning, and open-source reinforcement learning training pipelines (Wiki-GRx-Mujoco on NVIDIA Isaac Gym). All products ship with Python and C++ SDKs (UDP on Linux) and detailed documentation at support.fftai.com.
The company generates revenue through hardware sales (humanoid robots, rehabilitation equipment, and standalone components), SDK and software licensing, and integrated "Smart Rehabilitation Port" turnkey solutions for healthcare facilities. Go-to-market is direct enterprise sales supplemented by channel distribution — notably the Rymo Technologies ASEAN partnership (FDA Class II) and direct collaborations with named institutional customers including Malaysia's National Social Insurance Agency Rehabilitation Center, University Malaya Medical Centre, China Construction Bank, SAIC-GM, and a network of academic research partners (ETH Zurich, CMU, Tsinghua, UT Austin, SFU). Fourier is recognized as one of China's "Humanoid Robot Big 5" alongside Unitree, Agibot, Leju, and Huawei, and has physical presence in Shanghai (HQ), Singapore (Marina One West Tower), and Kuala Lumpur (Menara Pernas). Pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed; the company made its US market debut at CES 2026 in Las Vegas.
