World’s ‘cutest’ humanoid robot will makes its way into homes, classrooms

29 July 2025

Robotics firm, Fourier Robotics — maker of the GR-1 and GR-2 humanoid robot models — is preparing to launch its GR-3 humanoid robot.

The GR-3 is a smaller, friendlier iteration standing at 4 ft, 5 inches, and featuring a reportedly softer, cuddlier aesthetic, with its makers describing it as possibly the “most adorable humanoid robot yet.”

Its developers suggest that the companion-style or caregiver robot is likely intended for use in homes, schools, hospitals and public spaces. Additionally, it also features an integrated large language model (LLM), which enables natural speech engagement with users.

Fourier Robotics noted that the GR-3 will make its debut in August.
