GR-3
A 165 cm “Care-bot” aimed at homes and assisted living, shown at CES 2026. No price, no sale date, about three hours of battery.
What it can do at home today
- Companionship: Fourier says it localizes voices, tracks the user's movements and recognizes subtle touch
- At CES 2026 it danced and played live chess in booth demonstrations
What it cannot do yet
- Be bought: Fourier has published no price, sale date or home sales channel
- Carry much: the payload is about 3 kg per hand
- Be shown doing chores: Fourier's launch material focuses on companionship and care, not housework
The GR-3 is a full-size humanoid from Fourier, a Chinese robotics company. Fourier calls it its first “Care-bot”: a robot meant to keep people company and help in care settings, with a soft, friendly exterior. Companion robots like this get pitched for families, so it matters how little is confirmed.
Status
Fourier first introduced the GR-3 in August 2025 and showed it at its first CES on January 6, 2026. The CES press release describes booth demonstrations only and gives no sale date, launch timeline or regional availability. Humanoid.guide, which tracks the robot, describes it as in production but not available for purchase, with no price. Third-party listings disagree widely on price and Fourier has published none, so treat any figure you see as unverified. We could not find an order page.
Specs

- Height 165 cm, weight about 71 kg, standing size 1642 x 552 x 292 mm.
- Up to 55 degrees of freedom, including an optional 12-DoF hand; payload about 3 kg per hand.
- Hot-swappable 702 Wh + 234 Wh lithium-ion battery, about three hours of runtime, about 1.5 hours to charge.
- Walking speed 6.1 km/h.
- A monocular camera, six-axis IMU, 360-degree microphone array and a speaker of up to 15 W, running on an AMD Ryzen 7 8845HS computer.
What Fourier claims it does
The CES release says the GR-3 combines vision, audio and touch to localize voices, follow users’ movements and react to subtle touch, and mixes fast reflex control with language-model reasoning to read intent. Intended settings are homes, public spaces, commercial spaces and assisted living. Fourier also showed a doll-sized companion concept that it says is still in development. There is no evidence in the sources we reviewed of care outcomes or field validation, and no household chore demo.
What to be careful about
A robot that talks and reacts to touch is not the same as one that can lift a person, fold laundry or notice a fall. For safety around elderly relatives, children or pets, see are humanoid robots safe around kids and pets. A companion that listens and sees also raises the data questions in the privacy guide.
Who it is for
Nobody in a household can buy a GR-3 today. Watch for a published price, a clear home sales channel and any independent report from a care facility or family. For robots you can actually order, see 1X NEO and Unitree R1. For the wider field, read who is building home humanoid robots.
