Frequently asked questions
How do Figure 03 and GR-2 compare on price?
Figure 03: ~$25 per robot-operating-hour at BMW · ~$20,000 consumer target · 240 units/month (Apr 2026). GR-2: ~$150,000+, enterprise only; no US sales channel. No longer the flagship: Fourier GR-3 care robot launched Aug 6-7, 2025 (165 cm, 71 kg, 55 DOF, 3 kg payload, up to 3 h runtime, priced above RMB 200,000 / ~$27,500 for institutions in China; ~$80,000-$120,000 via Western resellers); GR-2 still offered by resellers..
Which has higher payload: Figure 03 or GR-2?
Figure 03 rates a higher payload at 20 kg vs 3 kg. Payload ratings are vendor claims and do not always include a duty cycle — peak vs sustained payload can differ significantly.
Are both Figure 03 and GR-2 shipping to customers?
Yes. Both are commercially available as of the last review. Delivery timelines and customer geographies vary per vendor — check the manufacturer page for each.
Which is better for ROS-based development: Figure 03 or GR-2?
Figure 03 has no ROS support; GR-2 has ROS 1 only. For research and multi-vendor robotics stacks, native ROS 2 is the strongest signal of ecosystem maturity.
