Robotics firm Fourier, based in Shanghai, showcased the gymnastic abilities of its N1 humanoid robot, highlighting its dynamic control and hardware strength. The company released a 30-second clip featuring the N1 performing a cartwheel and a 360-degree jump.

The cartwheel is performed without fingers, relying solely on the robot’s limbs and body control to complete the manoeuvre. At about 1.3 metres tall and weighing roughly 38 kg, the N1 is constructed from a lightweight aluminium alloy and engineering plastics. Its operating time exceeds two hours on a single charge, and it can reach speeds of up to 3.5 metres per second. 


N1 is as an open-source platform. The company makes blueprints, software, control systems, and even hardware bills of materials available, encouraging universities, laboratories, and hobbyists to use the robot as a testbed for new ideas.
