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 H1

The Unitree H1 is Unitree's higher-end research and developer humanoid (the standard H1 and the upgraded H1-2 with 7-DoF arms). Unitree lists it from about $90,000 on a contact-sales basis, up to about $128,900 for the H1-2. It is research and developer hardware, not a consumer-home product.
