Fourier has just pulled back the curtain on a sophisticated new data engine that allows an operator to pilot a humanoid robot in real-time, using a combination of a Brain-Computer Interface (BCI) and a wearable exoskeleton. In effect, the system transforms the company’s GR-1 series humanoid into a genuine physical avatar, capable of navigating the real world while the person pulling the strings is miles away. If this is the future of remote work, we can forget about glitchy video calls; it’s all about beaming your presence into a 55kg robotic surrogate and sending it to the office in your stead.
