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
Reachy 2
Pros
- Shipping to customers (verified commercial availability)
- Ships with LiDAR for robust depth sensing in low-light environments
Cons
- Low rated payload (3 kg) — research or light-handling tasks only
- Limited articulation (17 DOF)

Frequently asked questions
How do GR-2 and Reachy 2 compare on price?
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.. Reachy 2: $70,000. Only one of the two has a public unit price; the other publishes a range or enterprise-only terms.
Are both GR-2 and Reachy 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: GR-2 or Reachy 2?
GR-2 has ROS 1 only; Reachy 2 has ros2. For research and multi-vendor robotics stacks, native ROS 2 is the strongest signal of ecosystem maturity.
Does GR-2 or Reachy 2 use LiDAR?
Reachy 2 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.
