Alex Gu (Zen Koh co-founded the international arm)
Graduated from Shanghai Jiao Tong University in 2003 with a bachelor's in Mechanics, where he was a member of the university's first robotics team and competed in RoboCup Asia-Pacific in 2002. Joined National Instruments post-graduation, working on data collection, signal processing, instrument testing, and system integration. Founded Fourier Intelligence in 2015 with co-founder Zen Koh. The company built a global rehab-exoskeleton business before pivoting into the GR-series general-purpose humanoid platform (GR-1, GR-2, and the GR-3 Care-Bot). In 2024 the firm split into Fourier (humanoids) and Fourier Rehab, formalizing the dual strategy. Chinese President Xi Jinping toured Fourier's Shanghai facility in 2023.
