Fourier's humanoid robot brings 'warm tech companionship' to CES 2026
At CES 2026, Chinese robotics firm Fourier made its US debut with the GR-3, a full-size humanoid "Care-bot" designed to deliver warm, human-centered interaction through advanced perception and intuitive intelligence. Standing 165 cm tall and weighing 156 pounds, GR-3 integrates a Full-Perception Multimodal Interaction System that combines sight, sound, and touch, enabling it to localize voices, recognize faces, track movements, and respond naturally in real time. Its hybrid control architecture blends reflexive responses with advanced language-model reasoning, allowing it to engage in natural conversation, emotional reassurance, and routine assistance. The robot's expressive gestures, animated facial interface, and 31 pressure sensors create lifelike reactions, while its soft-touch shell and warm design foster a familiar, comforting presence suitable for homes, public spaces, and assisted living environments. In addition to GR-3, Fourier unveiled a doll-sized companion robot prototype at CES 2026, embodying the same design
