About Fourier Intelligence

Fourier Intelligence was founded in Shanghai, China in 2015 with a primary focus on rehabilitation robotics, specifically exoskeleton systems for stroke, spinal cord injury, and neurological rehabilitation. Over ten years, the company built a substantial installed base of over 500 rehabilitation institutions globally, establishing clinical credibility and revenue to support expansion into adjacent markets.

The company raised over $75 million and used this capital to develop the GR-2, a general-purpose humanoid robot that draws on the mechanical and control expertise developed for rehabilitation exoskeletons. This path to humanoid robotics, through deep experience in human-body-compliant actuation, gives Fourier Intelligence a distinctive perspective on robot design compared to companies approaching humanoids from industrial automation or consumer electronics backgrounds.

The GR-2 targets both research applications and, increasingly, industrial deployment, with a form factor and manipulation capability suited to tasks in manufacturing, logistics, and inspection environments. The company's dual track, rehabilitation exoskeletons for healthcare and general-purpose humanoids for industrial and research use, creates a diversified business model with near-term healthcare revenue supporting longer-term humanoid commercialisation.

Key Products

• GR-2: full-size general-purpose humanoid robot; for research and industrial deployment; draws on rehabilitation exoskeleton expertise
• ExoMotus: lower-limb rehabilitation exoskeleton for clinical use; deployed in 500+ institutions globally
• X1: gait rehabilitation exoskeleton for hospital and clinical settings

UK Market Presence

Fourier Intelligence has established a UK and European presence through direct sales and specialist medical device distributors. ExoMotus rehabilitation systems have been deployed in NHS rehabilitation centres and private neurological rehabilitation facilities. The GR-2 humanoid is available to UK research institutions and early industrial adopters through direct purchase, typically in the £40,000 to £70,000 range.

Buying Used Fourier Intelligence Equipment

The secondhand market for Fourier rehabilitation exoskeletons is modest, with units occasionally appearing through medical equipment brokers when rehabilitation centres upgrade or close. Exoskeleton prices on the secondhand market range from £15,000 to £40,000 depending on model and condition; confirm that all motor and sensor systems are functional and that CE marking remains valid. Used GR-2 units are rare; any purchase should be accompanied by confirmation of software licence transferability from Fourier Intelligence.
