Fourier starts in rehabilitation robotics
Fourier was founded in 2015 by Alex Gu (Gu Jie) and Zen Koh in Shanghai's Zhangjiang high-tech zone, with the mission of transforming physical rehabilitation through robotics. In 2017, Fourier unveiled the X1, China's first lower-limb exoskeleton with tactile feedback, and launched the M2 upper-limb rehabilitation robot.

GR-2 and new financing support the humanoid push
In 2024, Fourier unveiled the GR-2, a next-generation humanoid with comprehensive upgrades. The company rebranded, splitting into "Fourier" for humanoid robotics and "Fourier Rehab" for medical devices. Since founding, Fourier has completed nine funding rounds, including Series D backed by SoftBank Vision Fund II and a Series E in early 2025 worth nearly 800 million yuan.
