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.

Unitree H2

The Unitree H2 (from Unitree Robotics, Hangzhou) is a full-size humanoid, the successor to the H1, and one of the rare Chinese humanoids with a verified, openly-published consumer price: $29,900 (China-direct, ex-customs). It has 31 degrees of freedom (up from the H1's 27): a new 3-DoF waist, 7-DoF arms, a quasi-serial leg and foot redesign, and a bio-inspired animated face new to the H-series. It is about 1.82 meters and 70 kilograms with battery, with a roughly 3-hour battery, Intel Core i5/i7 base compute (an EDU variant offers NVIDIA Jetson), and a walking speed under 2 meters per second, down from the H1's roughly 3.3, trading speed for dexterity. DEPLOY records it at commercial maturity (for-sale with a published price), not production (no fleet-scale deployment). A critical cap-flag: the H2's marquee demos (dance, boxing, gala performances) are choreographed or teleoperated (via a control rig or Apple Vision Pro), not verified-autonomous; autonomy is the goal, not the present state. The $29,900 is a China-direct ex-customs price, not a US landed price, and the '2070 TOPS' figure is the optional EDU Jetson, not the base unit.

Common questions

What is the difference between Fourier GR-2 and Unitree H2?
Fourier GR-2 and Unitree H2 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 Fourier GR-2 or Unitree H2 more autonomous?
On the DEPLOY registry, neither Fourier GR-2 nor Unitree H2 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.
