COMPARISON
Unitree G1 vs Fourier GR-3: spec comparison for European buyers
Both the Unitree G1 and the Fourier GR-3 target Education & Research buyers in the €15–40k band, so the decision comes down to the details — and to which details your deployment actually depends on.
The Fourier GR-3 stands 33 cm taller (165 vs 132 cm), which affects reach and fit in human-scale workspaces.
On degrees of freedom, the Fourier GR-3 offers 55 against 23 — relevant if whole-body control or dexterous manipulation is on your roadmap.
For EU buyers specifically: the Unitree G1 is listed as “Available via EU distributor”, the Fourier GR-3 as “Enterprise sales — inquire” — confirm distributor stock before anchoring a deployment date.

Which one fits you?
- Buying for research? Weigh the software stack and ROS 2 support and degrees of freedom first — in our experience these decide most research deployments.
- Buying for healthcare? Weigh safety documentation and CE status and compliant interaction and force limits first — in our experience these decide most healthcare deployments.
- Buying for education? Weigh durability and repair cost and teaching materials and examples first — in our experience these decide most education deployments.
