Fourier unveils the GR-3, its first full-size "care-bot" humanoid: 165 cm, 55 degrees of freedom, a soft and warm exterior, and multimodal perception of voice, touch and expressions, for hospitals, eldercare centers and schools.

### Background In early August 2025, Shanghai-based Fourier launched the GR-3, the third generation of its GRx range and its first full-size humanoid it calls a "Care-bot". **Approximate date**: Fourier only states a first introduction "in August 2025"; the press had announced the unveiling for August 6 and Mike Kalil reported it on August 8. ### Specifications | Item | Announced value | |---|---| | Height | about 165 cm | | Degrees of freedom | up to 55, with dexterous hands | | Exterior | soft, warm-touch materials, rounded and cushioned surfaces | | Perception | multimodal interaction system (vision, audio, touch): localizes voices, tracks people, recognizes touch | | Decision | hybrid architecture combining fast reflexes and language-model reasoning | | Power | hot-swappable batteries, 24/7 operation according to Fourier | Pricing is not disclosed. ### Why it matters While most humanoids target factories, Fourier, which comes from rehabilitation robotics, targets hospitals, eldercare homes and schools. The GR-3 raises the question of acceptance: a robot meant to reassure rather than impress. ### Key takeaways The GR-3 made its US debut at CES 2026 in January, alongside a doll-size companion robot prototype. It marks Fourier's shift toward "proactive" AI and companionship.
