Current evidence comparison for Fourier GR-3 and PUDU D9.

Fourier GR-3

Fourier

Fourier GR-3 is a full-size service/care humanoid (165 cm, 71 kg, 55 DoF, soft shell, 31 touch sensors) announced August 2025 and shown publicly at CES 2026 in conversation, touch, dance and chess interactions. The strongest evidence is consistent official/company specification and CES booth demo descriptions, plus official videos titled around caring and behavior. However, no autonomous execution proof, no confirmed customer deployment, no independent metrics and no official price exist; directory sources conflict on walking speed, runtime and price. Treat GR-3 as an early-stage care humanoid with design strengths but unverified commercial and autonomy claims

PUDU D9

PUDU D9 has substantially better official hardware evidence after backfill: adult-scale biped body, 42 DOF, 352 N.m max joint torque, 20 kg test-environment payload, DH11 tactile dexterous hands, 275 TOPS compute, and 0.72 kWh battery. Autonomy and deployment evidence remain weak because public proof is mostly company demo/marketing, and the official flyer says the current sales version does not include navigation capabilities
