All humanoid robots. Every measure below is plotted against the full class, so a difference can be read against how much the class itself varies.

01 Classification
What each one does on its own.
The Autonomy Ladder is the same five rungs for every robot on the site. A rung describes the conditions a robot handles without you, not how good it is.
V
Generalized
Any task, any setting
IV
Environmental
Handles new obstacles without help
III
Conditional
Finishes familiar jobs on its own
II
Assisted
Runs preset routines, needs rescue

02 Assessment
Where they actually differ.
The Robovations Score is nine inputs across three pillars, each weighted as shown and each scored so that more is better. A robot can lead on one and trail on another, which is the point of showing them apart. Cost of ownership and data handling are reported on each robot's own page and are never averaged into the score.
None of these robots carries a scored assessment yet, so there is nothing to plot here. The classification and evidence below still apply.
03 Measured against the class
How far apart is a long way?
A number only means something next to the spread it sits in. Each track below is the real range across every classified robot in the class, with the median marked.

MagicLab MagicBot Z1
Z1 sold through a mainstream consumer storefront, JD.com, is an unusually direct-to-market signal for a humanoid this early, but the units sold were tied to a one-time nationally broadcast performance, not an ongoing consumer retail listing.
A self-developed autonomous-navigation algorithm is claimed on the official spec page, but the same page bundles a handheld remote control and does not disclose which mode is actually used in any given deployment.
Who each one is wrong for
Stated by the record itself. A robot being wrong for a household is a fact about fit, not a fault.
Fourier GR-1
- Consumers or small-business owners seeking autonomous help at home
- Fourier publishes no GR-1 price; distributors list it quote-only, with both purchase and lease paths. The platform requires on-site integration and dedicated technician availability, and no consumer support ecosystem exists.
- Environments without continuous supervision and safety protocols
- Teleoperation fallback is mandatory for complex tasks; unattended operation is not supported or recommended.
- Applications requiring instantaneous generalization across novel environments
- Operates within structured, pre-programmed task domains. Manual task scripting and environment reconfiguration required between deployments.
MagicLab MagicBot Z1
- Any household or general consumer use
- Sold to industry, research, and education buyers; the JD.com Gala sellout does not establish a household product or use case.
- Buyers seeking confirmed autonomous operation
- The manufacturer's autonomous-navigation claim is unconfirmed independently, and its earlier public demonstrations were confirmed remotely controlled.
- Buyers needing confirmed pricing
- No price was published for the JD.com Gala listing or found in any other source reviewed; third-party estimates are explicitly unconfirmed.
What stays your job
The upkeep ownership hands back to you, whatever the autonomy level says.
Fourier GR-1
- Daily: Battery charge cycle check and dock connectivity verification.
- Weekly: Joint range-of-motion inspection on shoulders, elbows, hips, knees for actuator play or grinding noise.
- Monthly: Filter cleaning on cooling system (if deployed in dusty environments); sensor lens wipe on cameras and depth sensors.
- Every 3-6 months: Firmware update review and installation by technician.
- Annually: Full system calibration and load testing.
- As needed: Emergency manual override procedures if autonomous motion stalls.
- Service terms: Fourier publishes no lubrication interval, wear-replacement schedule or service pricing for the GR-1’s integrated FSA actuator modules. Those terms come from the supplying distributor and should be established before a deployment is budgeted.

05 Evidence
How much each of these is standing on.
Classifications rest on different depths of evidence. A pre-release assessment and a verified one are not the same kind of claim.
