During the 2026 World AI Conference in Shanghai, Chinese robotics company Fourier released its first high-payload wheeled dual-arm robot, the GRW.

The GRW has an innovative "long-arm, narrow-shoulder" design, measuring 720 × 618 × 1160-1650 mm and weighing approximately 160 kg. Its shoulder width is only 585 mm, and the main body features 29 degrees of freedom (excluding the end effectors), enabling it to maneuver flexibly through narrow working spaces such as indoor corridors, office areas, warehouse aisles, and manufacturing workstations.

In terms of power assistance, the GRW is equipped with high-performance joint modules delivering a maximum torque of 500 N·m and offers a stable load capacity of up to 16 kg. A single robot can handle a variety of high-load tasks, including material handling, transfer assistance, and rehabilitation training.

The robot's dual arms have a maximum span of 1,970 mm, covering a horizontal working radius of 895 mm and a vertical working space from zero to two meters. This enables it to easily meet a wide range of operational needs, from low-level carrying and high-level picking and placing to cross-workstation collaboration.

Its shell is made of skin-friendly materials, with a warm tone for a more friendly and natural human-robot interaction experience while maintaining industrial-grade reliability.

Its modular end-effector design has an intelligent quick-change interface, supporting rapid swapping of dual-arm modules and end effectors. This allows the robot to flexibly adapt to diverse tasks such as item sorting, goods handling, loading and unloading, sorting operations, rehabilitation therapy, and daily living assistance.

The robot also integrates an autonomous navigation system that supports rapid mapping, autonomous localization, path planning, and 360° dynamic obstacle avoidance, enabling the robot to operate safely and efficiently in open environments such as factories, communities, and commercial spaces.
