At the recent World Robot Conference held yesterday in Beijing, Fuliye unveiled its latest humanoid robot, the GR-3. Officially debuting to the public, the GR-3 represents the third generation of Fuliye’s GRx series and marks its first full-sized, interaction-focused humanoid robot designed for companionship.
The robot stands out with its innovative soft-skin coating and comprehensive interaction system that challenge the traditional cold and mechanical image commonly associated with robots. Clad in Morandi warm tones and fitted with ultra-high-end interior materials alongside eco-friendly “Good Cotton GFOAM” soft lining, the GR-3 offers a visually soothing and tactilely inviting experience.
Standing at 165 centimeters tall and weighing 71 kilograms, the robot is equipped with 55 degrees of freedom, enabling more human-like limb movements. During live demonstrations involving interaction and walking, the crowd was captivated by the robot’s lifelike behavior. Many attendees were seen reaching out to touch and photograph the device, with one commenting, “The sensation is so real I couldn’t resist trying to touch it, and I even wanted to hug it.”
The GR-3 is powered by a self-developed full-sensing interaction system integrating auditory, visual, and tactile modules. This system employs a dynamic attention management mechanism that prioritizes different perceptions based on the situation. Hardware-wise, the robot has undergone significant upgrades, equipped with a high-performance integrated actuator and a dexterous 12-degree-of-freedom hand capable of various human-like gestures, including standard walking, straight-leg strides, and sway gait. When battery levels are low, it even displays a “fatigue mode,” adding to its realism.
Fuliye has clearly outlined its future ambitions for robotics, emphasizing social interaction and assistance roles. The company envisions robots like the GR-3 serving in public spaces and educational settings, assisting elderly individuals living alone, and engaging children in playful learning. On the more specialized side, such robots are expected to assist in mobility aid, health monitoring, and rehabilitation therapy—particularly within clinics and elderly care facilities—delivering precise and compassionate services.
The introduction of the GR-3 marks an important step forward in the evolution of humanoid robots, — blending advanced technology with a human-centered design aimed at fostering genuine connections between people and machines.
