US robotics firm Faraday Future (FF) has unveiled its first-half embodied AI (EAI) robotics lineup, introducing a full-form Robot World that spans six major product series.

The company also launched what it describes as the world’s first Three-in-One EAI Robotics Education Ecosystem Strategy, aimed at connecting robotics education, industry, and consumer applications.

During an event at its new headquarters in El Segundo, California, Faraday Future debuted the Futurist humanoid robot and the FX Navi quadruped robot, with the latter priced at $1,990 and available for immediate sale and delivery.

The California-based firm also announced the FF Robotics Partner Program, designed to expand global collaboration across its robotics ecosystem.

Robotics ecosystem unveiled

FF has unveiled a broad EAI robotics ecosystem, introducing four new robots, an open developer platform, and what it describes as the world’s first Three-in-One EAI Robotics Education Ecosystem Strategy aimed at accelerating consumer and educational adoption of physical AI technologies.

Leading the launch is the All-New Futurist humanoid robot, positioned as FF’s flagship professional-grade platform. Standing about 5 feet 8 inches tall and weighing approximately 121 pounds (54 kilograms), the robot is 14 percent lighter than its predecessor and features a redesigned structure for greater stability and more natural movement. Equipped with 31 degrees of freedom and a knee-joint torque of up to 320 Nm, the humanoid can run at speeds approaching 11 mph (17.7 km/h).

According to the firm’s statement, it is powered by a dual-battery system that offers up to 6 hours of runtime. It is built on a Vision-Language-Action (VLA) architecture combined with a World Model for advanced perception, reasoning, and autonomous decision-making. The robot is designed for commercial reception, guided services, industrial handling, warehouse operations, and hazardous-environment tasks. Additional specifications and pricing will be announced at Automate 2026 in Chicago on June 22.

FF also launched the FX Navi, a quadruped robot designed for home and classroom use. Marketed as the first foundational EAI learning quadruped robot in the United States, Navi combines robotics hardware with a dedicated STEM education ecosystem. The robot features 12 motorized joints, weighs 8 kilograms, and can navigate everyday indoor environments. A smartphone inserted into the head module serves as its computing platform, supporting both iOS and Android devices.

Users can customize the robot through downloadable and printable 3D head designs, while over-the-air updates will continuously add new capabilities such as autonomous following, multimodal perception, and natural interaction. Navi starts at $1,990, with optional development and curriculum packages available for students, educators, and developers.

One brain strategy

The company also previewed two upcoming humanoid robots. Master Mini, approximately one meter tall, is designed for education and robotic sports competitions, while Nova, standing about 50 centimeters tall, is intended as an entry-level educational and companion robot for children.

FF said its robotics strategy is built around a “one brain, multiple forms” approach designed to power a wide range of embodied AI robots from a shared intelligence platform. At the core of the strategy is FF’s evolving EAI Brain, based on a Vision-Language-Action (VLA) architecture and World Model, supported by an open-source developer ecosystem. The company says the platform is designed to operate across different environments, perform tasks autonomously, and adapt to new applications through its Skills and Agent system.

Rather than focusing on a single humanoid robot, FF is developing multiple robot form factors under its EAI Robot World concept, allowing a common AI brain to be deployed across different devices and use cases. The ecosystem is further supported by an EAI Data Factory that gathers real-world operational data and a global industry network aimed at improving manufacturing efficiency and reducing costs. Together, these elements form an expanding ecosystem designed to support large-scale deployment of embodied AI technologies.

FF additionally launched its open developer platform, featuring tools such as Brain Blocks visual programming, natural-language coding, robot personality customization, motion-generation software, and SDKs for professional developers. Through its new Agent Skill Store and Developer Ecosystem Program, FF aims to encourage contributions from students, educators, researchers, and software developers while expanding robotics adoption across homes, schools, and industry.
