Fourier GR-2
FourierFourier GR-2 is a second-generation biped humanoid (175 cm, 63 kg, 53 DoF) with 12-DoF tactile hands, FSA 2.0 actuators (peak torque >380 Nm), and developer support for ROS, Isaac Lab, and MuJoCo. Launch coverage from reputable media confirms core specs and teleoperation teaching modes, but no autonomous task execution or customer deployment has been shown. Third-party resellers list it for $125,000, but official pricing is not available. Perception claims of 360-degree RGB camera coverage are reported by one media outlet but not confirmed by Fourier's official launch release
Unitree H1
Unitree Robotics
The Unitree H1 is a full-size bipedal humanoid (about 180 cm, about 47 kg, 18 DoF by Unitree's per-limb counts, 864 Wh swappable battery) sold mainly to research labs through quote-based sales: Unitree's store shows a $90,000 'contact us' anchor and a European distributor lists it from EUR 93,496 excluding VAT. Its strongest public evidence is locomotion and spectacle, including a company-claimed 3.3 m/s record, 1500 m and 400 m golds at the 2025 World Humanoid Robot Games (6:34.40 and 1:28.03) and a second source crediting four track golds, a choreographed 16-robot national broadcast performance, and a company-claimed 10.1 m/s peak from a modified ~62 kg unit. Manipulation is weak: the stock robot ships without hands and with 4-DoF arms, and the manipulation literature (Stanford HumanPlus, CMU H2O) used heavily modified units. Unitree publishes no payload, runtime, failure-rate or deployment metrics; autonomy is asserted for walking and running only; third-party runtime figures conflict (1 h versus 2 h) and no independent benchmark or safety certification exists
