Frequently asked questions
How do GR-2 and L7 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.. L7: ~$60,000–$90,000.
Which has higher payload: GR-2 or L7?
L7 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 L7 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 L7?
GR-2 has ROS 1 only; L7 has no ROS support. For research and multi-vendor robotics stacks, native ROS 2 is the strongest signal of ecosystem maturity.
