On April 11, Shanghai General Robotics Company Fourier released the first open source humanoid robot Fourier N1, and simultaneously opened a complete ontology resource package. The N1 is 1.31 meters tall and weighs 38 kg. It does not include dexterous hands. It has a total of 23 degrees of freedom, a maximum running speed of 3.5 meters per second, a maximum joint torque of 96 N.m, and a single battery life of more than 2 hours. Fourier said that during the engineering verification process, the N1 has completed more than 1,000 hours of outdoor complex terrain tests, and the single continuous operation time has exceeded 72 hours, fully verifying the stability, durability and environmental adaptability of its structural design. At the same time, N1 can stably perform difficult actions such as walking on a slope with a slope of 15° to 20°, climbing a 20 cm staircase, and climbing on the ground. At the same time, “open source is ready”, developers can achieve a complete copy of N1, and more algorithm modules will be opened in the future. As to why they chose open source, Fourier said that compared to commercial value, he places more importance on the possibility of future technological breakthroughs. Although the market seems to be in full swing now, it is still in a very early stage. He hopes to help lower the entry threshold for the industry, allow more people to join the industry's transformation, and allow the industry to have longer vitality and more sustainable growth prospects.
