Fourier Intelligence

Founded in 2015 by Alex Gu, Fourier Intelligence began as a medical rehabilitation robotics company building lower-limb exoskeletons and upper-limb therapy robots, and it grew into one of the larger rehab-robotics suppliers in Asia. Starting in 2023 the company pivoted hard into general-purpose humanoids, unveiling the GR-1 at the World Artificial Intelligence Conference in Shanghai and following with the GR-2 and newer GR-series research platforms sold to academic and corporate labs. The company sits at an unusual intersection: unlike pure-play humanoid startups, Fourier ships real, revenue-generating hardware into hospitals today, while also competing directly with Unitree, UBTECH, and Western humanoid labs. In January 2025 Fourier closed a Series E of roughly RMB 800M (~$109M) led by Prosperity7 and Chinese state-affiliated funds, at a reported pre-money valuation near $1.1B.
Rare example of a healthcare-robotics company successfully using its cashflow to bootstrap a credible humanoid program, bridging regulated medical robotics and the humanoid race.
