About
About Fourier Intelligence
Fourier Intelligence develops rehabilitation robots, humanoid platforms and developer tools for embodied-intelligence research. Its rehabilitation portfolio covers upper- and lower-limb therapy and gait training, while the GR humanoid family provides full-body platforms for research, interaction and application development.
The company’s current scope is broader than humanoids: clinical and rehabilitation systems remain a distinct established line, and humanoid products such as GR-3 and GR Mini occupy different form factors and maturity stages. Software, developer interfaces and research partnerships support both areas. Clinical status is attached to individual rehabilitation products and jurisdictions.

- Fourier releases ActionNet dexterous bimanual humanoid manipulation dataset
2025-03-01 - Research Publication - Fourier introduced ActionNet as a dexterous bimanual manipulation dataset for humanoid robots with more than 30,000 teleoperated trajectories and around 140 hours of interaction data. The dataset includes Fourier GR1-T1, GR1-T2, and GR2 humanoid recordings plus Fourier dexterous hands, with language annotations reviewed for imitation learning, VLA, and world-model training. The release is a first-party dataset release from Fourier rather than a product demo, and it gives the company research tab a concrete research artifact.
