Fourier Intelligence aims at the 100 billion-level general-purpose robot market

"From special-purpose to general-purpose is the development direction of many technologies and products, and general-purpose is the inevitable trend of the next generation of development." Gu Jie, founder and CEO of Fourier, predicted. After the depth and breadth of the application of intelligent rehabilitation robots have been significantly improved, Fourier Intelligence is turning its attention to the general-purpose robot market.

The scale development of the industry has entered the fast lane

Fourier Intelligence was founded in 2015. It has been deeply engaged in the field of intelligent robot technology and has continued to make high-intensity R&D investments for many years. It has built an intelligent robot technology platform to enhance the efficiency of society and industry, and has vertically applied it to multiple ecological scenarios such as health and education. The company's rehabilitation sector has now entered large-scale application.

Founder Gu Jie has been fascinated by robotics technology since his student days and still has a "robot dream". During his career, he has witnessed the leaps and bounds of robotics technology. "The initial robots were relatively large, weighing several hundred kilograms and were very expensive. With continuous iterations in recent years, robots have become more powerful, more integrated, smaller and lighter," Gu Jie exclaimed.

The application of robots not only accelerates the upgrading of traditional industries, but also sets off a new wave of information and intelligent upgrading of manufacturing industry. In this context, Fourier Intelligence has a deep insight into the development trend of the industry and successfully built a complete ecological chain from technology research and development to application implementation, continuously expanding the cutting-edge technology of intelligent robots and leading the Chinese robot industry towards high-end and intelligent development.

With its innovative design, the EMU three-dimensional upper limb rehabilitation robot created by Fourier Intelligence and the University of Melbourne has won honors such as the German Red Dot Design Award and the iF Design Award.

Gu Jie said that the application scenarios of Fourier Intelligent Rehabilitation have formed a closed-loop ecosystem. The independently developed Motus EMU three-dimensional upper limb rehabilitation robot, ExoMotus M4 lower limb rehabilitation robot, movement and balance training system, physical factor therapy series and other products are targeted at different parts of the body, integrating multiple rehabilitation types, providing full-cycle homogeneous rehabilitation treatment from the acute phase, stable phase to the recovery phase, significantly improving rehabilitation efficiency. Fourier Intelligent's "Full-cycle Coverage Intelligent Rehabilitation Training Robot" was also selected into the first batch of "Shanghai Intelligent Robot Benchmarking Enterprise and Application Scenarios Catalog".

Competing to become a world-class general-purpose robot leader

In line with the domestic and international dual circulation development pattern, Fourier Intelligence has laid out a three-level rehabilitation medical service system internally and actively implemented a "going out" strategy externally. At present, the rehabilitation robots independently developed by Fourier Intelligence have been applied in tertiary general hospitals, secondary and rehabilitation specialty hospitals, and primary community rehabilitation centers. They have also entered the grassroots and landed in township health centers in Hezhou, Guangxi and Zibo, Shandong, to enhance rehabilitation service capabilities and improve the soft and hard power of grassroots rehabilitation medicine.

In response to the huge demand for high-end intelligent robots at home and abroad, Gu Jie believes that it is necessary to focus on the expansion of the international market. Fourier Intelligence has established global R&D, production and services in Shanghai, Beijing, Melbourne, Chicago and other places, serving more than 2,000 customers in more than 50 countries and regions around the world. "Fourier Intelligence's responsibility is to let the world see the strength and value of China's intelligent manufacturing and break the stereotype that Chinese manufacturing is cheap and of low quality. We hope to put a new label on Made in China and let China's high-quality, high-performance, and high-tech robot products go to the world."

"Entering the field of 100 billion-level general-purpose robots with the innovation of underlying technologies" is the strategic goal of Fourier Intelligence , and the development of Fourier Intelligence is also accompanied by the upgrade of intelligent robots. With the breakthrough of artificial intelligence technology and the expansion of application scenarios, Fourier Intelligence is exploring innovative general-purpose robot products.

"I firmly believe that general-purpose robots will be the direction of the future. This is a bit like the development of computers. At first, they were dedicated computers for computer rooms, and gradually evolved into general-purpose personal computers, laptops, and even computers. The underlying technology of robots continues to break through, and the number of robots may grow exponentially in the future." said Gu Jie.

"The collaborative relationship between humans and machines has transformed into the current integration of human-machine interaction. In the future, with the support of artificial intelligence iterations, general intelligent robots can be operated remotely to help patients solve difficult and complicated diseases, restore health, and even generalize to more application scenarios , helping Fourier intelligence to go deeper into the field of robotics." Gu Jie believes that the general robot market has huge potential.

As one of the largest manufacturing bases and R&D centers in my country, Shanghai has focused on developing the intelligent robot industry in recent years. Relying on Shanghai's advantages in infrastructure, artificial intelligence, and big data, Fourier Intelligence will continue to promote the upgrading of the robot industry. Gu Jie said: "In fact, the government has created a good development environment for enterprises, strengthened the ecological chain system, expanded application scenarios, and won more opportunities for Chinese enterprises to 'go global'."

In the future, Fourier Intelligence will continue to leverage its technological advantages, strengthen innovative research and development, launch more robotic products, enable everyone to enjoy a better life through intelligent technology, and contribute to the development of general-purpose robots.
