GR-1
The GR-1 is a self-developed and mass-produced humanoid robot designed and manufactured by Fourier Intelligence, a company based in Singapore that specializes in rehabilitation robots and artificial intelligence. Known for its anthropomorphic design, the GR-1 boasts a bionic torso and exhibits highly advanced human-like motion control capabilities.
Overview
The GR-1 is an innovative representation in the field of humanoid robots with its design philosophy focused on emulating human movements and behaviors. The robot is equipped with 54 Degrees of Freedom (DoFs) which play a crucial role in its movement and maneuverability capabilities. It is able to perform complex movements such as brisk walking, adroitly avoiding obstacles, stable descent down slopes, and maintaining steadiness upon disruptions. These features combined with its agility and durability make GR-1 an excellent candidate for applications in artificial general intelligence (AGI).
Specifications
The GR-1 stands at 1.65 meters tall and weighs 55 kilograms, with a distributed system of 40 to 54 DoFs enabling its sophisticated movement dynamics. A highlight of its technological prowess is the integration of peak joint torques reaching 230N.m, ensuring strength and precision in its operations. Another significant feature includes the advanced joint module fitted at the hip which allows for enhanced locomotive abilities. The structural and mechanical configurations underline the robot's sophisticated design, blending electronic and mechanical engineering with cutting-edge software technologies.
Production & Applications
Fourier Intelligence plans to manufacture 100 units of the GR-1 by the end of 2023, showcasing its commitment to bringing advanced humanoid robots to the commercial market. The robot's design caters to a variety of applications, particularly emphasizing roles in caregiving and physical therapy. These application domains benefit from GR-1's stable and human-like movement which is essential in environments requiring precise and gentle interactions.
