Editorial summaries

EngineAI SE01

EngineAI's SE01 (from EngineAI, Shenzhen) is a 32-degree-of-freedom research humanoid noted for a neural-network natural-gait walking demonstration. DEPLOY records it at research maturity with no verified deployments: the natural-gait footage is demonstration material, not evidence of autonomous deployment, and DEPLOY cap-flags aggregator framing of SE01 as 'autonomous' or commercially deployed. As a smaller-maker research platform it has no consumer price.

Fourier GR-2

Fourier's GR-2 (from Fourier Intelligence, Shanghai) is a second-generation bipedal research humanoid (GRx generation 2, 2024). DEPLOY records it at research maturity with no verified deployments: it is a development and demonstration platform, not a commercial-deployment-at-scale product. As a research platform it has no consumer price. Cap-flag: most Chinese-humanoid commercial-deployment framing in this cohort, GR-2 included, is aspirational demonstration; the verification posture is demonstration, not verified autonomous deployment.

Common questions

What is the difference between EngineAI SE01 and Fourier GR-2?
EngineAI SE01 and Fourier GR-2 are both humanoid robots on the DEPLOY registry. They differ in maker, maturity, price, verified deployments, and how much of their autonomy is independently verified. See the table above for the full head-to-head; each figure is sourced.
Is EngineAI SE01 or Fourier GR-2 more autonomous?
On the DEPLOY registry, neither EngineAI SE01 nor Fourier GR-2 has capabilities independently verified as fully autonomous yet; their recorded capabilities are teleoperated-assisted, demonstrated, or vendor-claimed. See the table for each capability's verification status.
Which has more verified deployments, EngineAI SE01 or Fourier GR-2?
EngineAI SE01 has more verified deployments (1) on the DEPLOY registry than Fourier GR-2 (0). DEPLOY counts a deployment only when confirmed at a named site with a primary source.
