Fourier Intelligence Launches Qianxun 2 Humanoid Robot

Fourier Intelligence, a leading Chinese robotics developer, officially launched the Qianxun 2 humanoid robot on May 12, 2025, marking a significant step toward affordable industrial automation. The new model features upgraded joint actuators, improved balance algorithms, and a tactile-sensitive end-effector capable of handling delicate components with precision. Priced at $40,000 per unit, the Qianxun 2 positions itself as a cost-effective alternative to legacy European and American humanoid systems.

Key Technical Specifications and Capabilities

The Qianxun 2 stands 170 centimeters tall and weighs 58 kilograms, powered by a custom silicon carbide motor system that delivers 40 percent higher torque efficiency than its predecessor. The robot supports up to 12 hours of continuous operation on a single charge, with hot-swappable battery modules enabling uninterrupted workflow in manufacturing environments. Its onboard AI stack integrates real-time spatial mapping and adaptive grasping, allowing it to navigate cluttered factory floors and perform pick-and-place tasks without extensive reprogramming.

India Market Entry and Pricing Structure

Fourier Intelligence has confirmed partnerships with three Indian technology distributors to facilitate the Qianxun 2’s entry into South Asia. The robot will be available in India at an adjusted price of ₹33.5 lakhs ($40,200), inclusive of import duties and localized software licensing. Indian automotive and electronics manufacturers are expected to pilot the system at facilities in Tamil Nadu and Maharashtra by late 2025. The company also offers a subscription-based AI maintenance package at ₹1.2 lakhs per month, which includes remote diagnostics, firmware updates, and on-site technical support.

Industry Impact and Deployment Timeline

The launch comes amid growing demand for humanoid robots in India’s manufacturing sector, where labor shortages and rising automation costs have accelerated adoption timelines. Fourier Intelligence plans to open a regional service and integration hub in Bengaluru by Q4 2025 to support Indian clients. Pre-orders are now open through authorized partners, with initial production units scheduled for shipment in August 2025. The company has committed to localizing 30 percent of the Qianxun 2’s supply chain in India within two years, focusing on sensor assembly and structural component manufacturing.
