Electric vehicle company Faraday Future today announced the establishment of FF EAI-Robotics Inc., headquartered in California, and officially launched its first batch of "Embodied AI" (EAI) humanoid and bionic robots—FF Futurist (full-size professional humanoid), FF Master (athletic “action master” humanoid), and FX Aegis (quadruped security/companion), with the first batch of deliveries planned for the end of February, and with the target to be the first in North America to deliver both humanoid and quadruped robots simultaneously.
The unveiling occurred at the annual National Automobile Dealers Association (NADA) Show in Las Vegas, NV. In addition to the three robotic entries, the company unveiled the “Three-in-One” FF EAI Robotics Ecosystem Strategy, Technology and Product, which includes three core components: EAI Device, EAI Brain & Open-Source and Open Platform, and EAI Decentralized Data Factory.
FF not only launched the first three FF embodied intelligence (EAI) robots but also opened paid non-binding pre-orders and full sales, as it strives to achieve initial deliveries in the same month, targeting to become the first U.S. company to deliver both humanoid and quadruped robots and one of the industry leaders in EAI robotics.
As of today, the total number of FF EAI Robotics units covered by non-binding and non-refundable paid B2B deposits has reached more than 1,200, which marks a terrific start for the Company’s robotics goals. These B2C preorders were made by entities receiving compensation for cocreation activities.
EAI Robotics and EAI Vehicles
With this new strategy, FF looks to take the lead in opening a new AI frontier—starting in the U.S. This dual-track growth model, driven by both EAI vehicles and EAI robotics, could define a new growth curve for the Company.
This move is a natural extension of the AI DNA that has been embedded in FF since day one. It is also the inevitable evolution of the vehicle-as-robot concept the Company proposed ten years ago.
Second, this replicates and upgrades FF’s Auto Industry Bridge model, based on full regulatory compliance and localized deployment of data, software, AI, cloud services, and operating systems, FF could integrate a global EAI supply chain to deliver robots with a high price-performance ratio, filling a critical market void in the United States.
Third, the AI robotics business features lighter investment, faster delivery, and could generate positive operating cash flow more quickly.
Fourth, EAI robotics and EAI vehicles act as twin engines driving FF forward. They work hand-in-hand across R&D, manufacturing, sales, and service. Combined with FF’s Dual-Flywheel, Dual-Bridge, and Dual-Public-Company structure, they could create a strong ecosystem synergy and open a new growth curve for the company.
“Today marks a pivotal and exciting point in FF’s history, one that we’ve been planning for some time now,” said YT Jia, Founder and Global Co-CEO at FF. “Working alongside humans, we believe EAI robots will help reshape productivity models and drive a new leap forward in productivity through human–machine symbiosis.”
Robots
Three robotic forms were introduced at the NADA event. FF Futurist, FF Master, and FX Aegis. First, FF Futurist, is positioned as a full-size, professional EAI humanoid robot—an all-around expert for professional roles. It is targeted to become the first humanoid robot in the United States to achieve mass production and delivery.
Second, FF Master, positioned as an athletic EAI humanoid robot. It is an all-intelligence action master that truly understands you. We believe that it will be one of the most cost-effective humanoid robot products in the U.S. market.
Third, FX Aegis, positioned as a professional quadruped EAI robot for security and companionship. It is a loyal, practical guardian, and will be one of the earliest robot friends to enter your daily life and work environments.
FF Futurist is a full-size, professional EAI humanoid robot—your all-around expert for professional roles. He was built for the real world. To take on serious jobs, work alongside people. Powered by the NVIDIA Orin platform, he can deliver up to 200 TOPS of computing power, with support for continuous upgrades and expansion. That means he doesn’t just understand complex environments—he can grow with every new task, every new industry, and every new challenge.
He sees the world in detail with industry-leading perception. He has a perception system that combines multiple high-resolution cameras, fisheye camera, RGB-D camera, 3D LiDAR, and tactile sensors. With Wi-Fi and 5G, He can support remote control, VR teleoperation, and collaborative work.
FF Futurist will have 28 high-performance motors, peak torque of up to 500 Newton-meters, a power density of 125 Newton-meters per kilogram, 3-hour operating time and hot-swappable battery design. He can support natural interaction in up to 50 languages, and features a fully customizable, interactive facial display. Combined with tailored software solutions, he can deliver a thousand faces for a thousand robots, adapt to different people, different roles, and different moments.
FF Futurist Usage Scenarios: He can be seen in many roles including in hotels, showrooms, and museums, basically a multilingual super concierge. In retail, dealerships, and real estate, he is the most professional super sales advisor. On stage, at launch events and shows, he is a composed and versatile super host. In schools, institutions, and labs, he is a forward-looking research and teaching assistant. In theme parks and pop-ups, he can be the most intelligent brand ambassador. In the next phase, he can be entering homes and factories, as a friendly household assistant and a productive industrial partner, giving people back more time for creativity and innovation.
FF Master is an athletic EAI humanoid robot—your all-intelligence action master who truly understands you. He can be more than just an AI companion but instead a real companion who helps in everyday life. At home, he can study with your kids, chat with your parents, and help you unwind. When you are away, he helps you check in on your home through remote video and sensors after the upgrade to make sure everything is okay. He can adapt and learn new skills. He has 30 degrees of freedom in his body, not counting his hands.
FF Master Usage Scenarios: At events, he can be a “Chief Interaction Officer.” In classrooms and labs, he can be a hands-on assistant for research and training. He can constantly evolve, maybe become your personal trainer, your outdoor companion—stepping beyond the living room, exploring further, and discovering more possibilities of life.
FX Aegis is a professional, embodied AI quadruped robot designed for security and companionship. Aegis is naturally adaptable to complex environments. Its peak joint torque can reach 48 Newton-meters, easily overcoming obstacles of about 13 inches and climbing stably on slopes of 40 degrees. Aegis supports Wi-Fi and 5G communication and can also expand to remote operation capabilities, allowing it to work continuously outdoors, in industrial sites, and even in areas far from network coverage.
Aegis is highly adaptable both structurally and functionally. It comes standard with a quadrupedal structure, while also supporting an optional four-wheeled version; it can flexibly expand with LiDAR, depth cameras, communication modules, and even robotic arms, fire extinguishers, and professional security plugins according to task needs—allowing it to seamlessly integrate into different scenarios.
On the software level, it can connect with home, campus, and industrial security systems, achieving continuous patrol, status feedback, and intelligent linkage. Aegis also comes with mature autonomous patrol and follow-me capabilities. It can perform stably without frequent human-machine interaction. Outdoors and on the road, it can follow alongside, providing lightweight assistance and safety assurance.
FX Aegis Usage Scenarios: On the road, it’s a reliable traveling partner. In factories and law enforcement—it functions as a professional security pioneer. In emergency rescue and high-risk environments, it is always the first to enter the scene. And in asset inventory and small item delivery tasks, it is also a punctual, silent mobile messenger.
