Editorial summaries

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.

PAL TALOS

TALOS is a research humanoid from PAL Robotics, a Spanish company and one of the few European humanoid makers, used by European research consortia and labs. It is a research-tools platform, not a consumer product; the editorial position is honest-absence on consumer pricing.
