Editorial summaries

Fourier GR-3

The GR-3 is the flagship full-size humanoid from Fourier Intelligence, a Chinese company rooted in medical and rehabilitation robotics, a focus distinct from the consumer-home cohort. There is no consumer product, price, or availability on record; the editorial position is honest-absence.

Adam

Adam, from China's PNDbotics, is a full-size humanoid (~1.6-1.67 m, ~60-63 kg) in several variants (Adam Lite, Adam/Adam SP, the teleop/research Adam-U, Adam Pro), with quasi-direct-drive actuators and five-finger hands. The research-focused Adam-U is offered to research institutions on pre-order at about $45,000; other variants have no published consumer price.

DEPLOY classifies its maturity as research. A China deployment partnership (Tianyong) is stated, not yet a verified deployment.
