What is Fourier GR-1?

Fourier GR-1 lets developers control movement and object handling through an SDK. It can walk, negotiate slopes, grasp objects with articulated hands, and perceive its surroundings using depth cameras.

According to its documentation, Fourier GR-1 lets you:

  • walk and negotiate slopes
  • grasp objects with articulated hands
  • perceive the environment with depth cameras
  • receive commands and transmit joint status through an SDK

We file it under Developer tools, the category of tools to test, document and ship software, and it also overlaps with data science and machine learning. The category lists 31 verified tools on this site.

The publisher is Shanghai Fourier Intelligent Technology Co., Ltd., based in China. The service launched in 2023, which gives it some track record.

Who is it for?

It is mostly useful to these profiles: developers and researchers. The need it covers is simple to state: test, document and ship software.

Fourier GR-1 is a good candidate if:

  • you plan to connect it to your tools or automations through its API

The best test is a concrete case from your daily work: if the tool does not beat your current method within a week, move on to an alternative.

How much does Fourier GR-1 cost?

Pricing model: paid. No permanent free plan is offered.

The entry price is not shown publicly: you have to contact the publisher or create an account to see it.

To estimate what the same work would cost done directly with an AI model, use our API price calculator. Prices change often: always check the official site before subscribing.

Data and privacy

The publisher does not clearly state where data is hosted. Assume your content may leave your region.

For professional use, check that a data processing agreement (DPA) is offered, and do not send customers' personal data or confidential documents without one.

No export feature is documented: keep a copy of your content elsewhere.

Three habits apply to every AI tool:

  • turn off the use of your content for training if the option exists
  • use a work account separate from your personal account
  • review everything the tool produces before publishing or sending it

Platforms, languages and API

Fourier GR-1 runs on: Linux and API.

Interface languages are not specified.

A public API lets you call it from your own programs or an automation tool, and plug it into an AI agent.

How we scored it

Our 33/100 score does not judge output quality: it measures what can be publicly verified about access to the tool, its openness and how far the publisher can be trusted.
