Pros and cons at a glance
GR-2
Pros
- Shipping to customers (verified commercial availability)
- 53 degrees of freedom — full-body articulation
Cons
- Unit price not publicly disclosed (quote-on-request or enterprise-only)
- Low rated payload (3 kg) — research or light-handling tasks only
- Short runtime (120 min) — frequent recharging or battery swaps
DR02
Pros
- Shipping to customers (verified commercial availability)
- Long runtime (7h per charge) for full-shift operation
- Ships with LiDAR for robust depth sensing in low-light environments
Cons
- Unit price not publicly disclosed (quote-on-request or enterprise-only)
- Closed software stack — no public SDK or ROS support
Frequently asked questions
How do GR-2 and DR02 compare on price?
GR-2: ~$150,000+, enterprise only; no US sales channel. DR02: Contact.
Which has higher payload: GR-2 or DR02?
DR02 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 GR-2 and DR02 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: GR-2 or DR02?
GR-2 has ROS 1 only; DR02 has no ROS support. For research and multi-vendor robotics stacks, native ROS 2 is the strongest signal of ecosystem maturity.
Does GR-2 or DR02 use LiDAR?
DR02 ships with LiDAR for depth sensing; GR-2 does not. LiDAR adds cost and complexity but improves obstacle detection in low-light or low-contrast environments.
