Editorial summaries
Booster T1
The Booster T1, from China's Booster Robotics, is a research and developer humanoid prominent in the wave of Chinese humanoids shown at CES 2026. There is no verified consumer price or delivery date on record in DEPLOY's registry. DEPLOY classifies its maturity as research and applies verified-vs-claimed discipline: commercial-ramping marketing and demonstrations are common across this cohort, but third-party verified deployment is the bar, and it is not yet met here.
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.
