Faraday Future Intelligent Electric Inc. has expanded its operations into robotics with the launch of three embodied artificial intelligence robot product lines at the annual National Automobile Dealers Association Show in Las Vegas. The company showed the FF Futurist humanoid robot, the FF Master humanoid robot, and the FX Aegis quadruped robot, alongside the establishment of a new subsidiary, FF EAI-Robotics Inc., headquartered in California. The hardware of these robots is provided by Agibot, FF adds their own software.
The company stated that sales and paid pre-orders for the three robots have opened, with initial deliveries targeted for the end of February. A fourth product category, a mobile manipulator robot series, is planned for launch later in the month. Faraday Future said it aims to become the first U.S.-based company to deliver both humanoid and quadruped robots at scale.
According to the company, more than 1,200 units are covered by non-binding, non-refundable business-to-business deposits. The robotics program has entered a production preparation phase, while customization, testing, and data training are being conducted in parallel to support the planned delivery timeline. Faraday Future also showcased its robotics strategy to automotive dealers and held a partner recruitment event focused on preliminary sales channels.
The three robots are positioned for different use cases. The FF Futurist is described as a full-size humanoid robot intended for professional and commercial environments. The FF Master is positioned as a smaller, more athletic humanoid robot designed for interactive and domestic scenarios. The FX Aegis is a quadruped robot intended for security, inspection, and companionship applications. Faraday Future said the robots are built around an embodied AI architecture that combines onboard hardware, cloud-based intelligence, and data-driven learning systems.
Faraday Future disclosed pricing for each product line. The FF Futurist series is priced from $34,990, the FF Master series from $19,990, and the FX Aegis series from $2,499. Each robot is offered with an optional ecosystem skills package, priced separately, that enables additional software capabilities and secondary development features. The company said it is considering financing, leasing, and rental options and plans to provide after-sales support, over-the-air updates, and remote technical services.
The company also outlined a broader robotics ecosystem strategy that integrates devices, AI software platforms, and data infrastructure. As part of this effort, FF EAI-Robotics has entered into a non-binding letter of intent with AIxC to evaluate potential collaboration opportunities related to Web3 technologies.
Faraday Future’s robotics initiative is positioned as a complement to its electric vehicle business. The company said it views embodied AI robots and vehicles as parallel growth areas that can share research, manufacturing, sales, and service resources. It also reiterated plans to leverage automotive retail networks as potential distribution channels for robotics products.
YT Jia, founder and global co-chief executive officer of Faraday Future, said the company views embodied AI robots as a tool to support new forms of productivity through closer collaboration between humans and machines. “Working alongside humans, we believe EAI robots will help reshape productivity models and drive a new leap forward in productivity through human–machine symbiosis,” Jia said.
The FF Futurist humanoid robot is built on the NVIDIA Orin computing platform and is equipped with multiple cameras, LiDAR, tactile sensors, and wireless connectivity for remote operation and updates. The company said the robot is designed to operate in commercial settings such as hospitality, retail, education, and events. The FF Master humanoid robot is positioned for interactive roles in homes, classrooms, and public environments, while the FX Aegis quadruped robot is designed for patrol, inspection, and monitoring tasks in indoor and outdoor settings.
Technology creator Jon Rettinger, who appeared at the event, attributed growing interest in robotics to advances in large language models, computing power, batteries, and simulation technologies, which he said are enabling broader commercial deployment of embodied AI systems.
Faraday Future said it expects robotics sales channels to increasingly overlap with automotive dealerships and outlined a partner model intended to integrate vehicle and robotics distribution over time. The company also stated its long-term view that global robot ownership could eventually exceed the scale of the current global automobile fleet, positioning robotics as a major future market alongside electric vehicles.
