Fourier Unveils GRW Wheeled Humanoid Robot for Industrial and Eldercare Use
CyberRobooo · x · 2026-08-08
Fourier has introduced GRW, a new wheeled humanoid robot joining its GR series, designed for high-payload assistance in industrial, warehouse, and eldercare environments.
- Hardware Specs: Offers a stable 16 kg payload and nearly 2-meter arm reach, while keeping a narrow shoulder width of 58.5 cm. This geometry allows it to navigate tight aisles and handle repetitive heavy lifting.
- Modularity: Features quick-swap end effectors, supporting grippers, dexterous hands, or suction cups.
- Software: Tasks can be configured via natural language, with support for multi-robot coordination.
The author notes that while the debate between wheeled and bipedal locomotion continues, prioritizing the robot's operational environment remains the most critical factor.
