Verdict
Neither platform leads on the weighted specifications; the choice comes down to which dimensions matter for the job.
Qinglong leads on payload (15 kg vs About 3 kg per arm).
Fourier GR-3 leads on max speed (6.1 km/h vs 1.5 m/s).
Left out because at least one manufacturer does not publish a figure: price.
Qinglong
China's first open-source full-size general-purpose humanoid platform, unveiled at WAIC 2024. Designed as a national reference platform for embodied AI research.
Fourier GR-3
Fourier's first “care-bot” humanoid, designed for interactive companionship with soft covering materials and a moderate height. About 71 kg and 164 cm, with a hot-swappable battery and about 3 h runtime per Fourier's developer documentation.
