The commercial robotics market is experiencing unprecedented momentum as artificial intelligence capabilities mature and enterprises search for practical automation solutions. Yet a critical gap persists: few U.S.-based manufacturers are positioned to deliver production-ready humanoid and quadruped robots simultaneously. That landscape shifted this week when Faraday Future launched three distinct robot product lines at the National Automobile Dealers Association Show in Las Vegas.
Breaking Ground in Commercial Embodied AI Robotics
Faraday Future officially established FF EAI-Robotics Inc. and introduced three robot platforms: FF Futurist (full-size professional humanoid), FF Master (athletic humanoid), and FX Aegis (quadruped security and companion robot). The company opened sales and pre-orders immediately, with first deliveries scheduled for late February 2026. The announcement positions Faraday Future to become the first North American company delivering both humanoid and bionic robots concurrently.
The timing reflects broader industry shifts. As tech analyst Jon Rettinger noted at the event, breakthroughs in large language models, AI computing power, battery technology, and world models have transformed previous robotics limitations into commercial opportunities. The embodied AI robotics sector is approaching what many observers consider a commercialization tipping point.
Platform Specifications and Market Positioning
FF Futurist targets professional environments with 28 high-performance motors delivering peak torque up to 500 Newton-meters and power density of 125 Newton-meters per kilogram. The platform runs on NVIDIA Orin, providing 200 TOPS computing capability with upgrade potential. Its perception system integrates multiple high-resolution cameras, fisheye cameras, RGB-D cameras, 3D LiDAR, and tactile sensors. The robot supports natural interaction in 50 languages and offers three-hour operation with hot-swappable batteries.
FF Master emphasizes versatility with 30 degrees of freedom (excluding hands) and adaptive learning capabilities. The platform is designed for educational, research, and residential applications where human interaction and mobility matter most.
FX Aegis addresses security and industrial patrol requirements with quadrupedal locomotion. The platform delivers 48 Newton-meter peak joint torque, navigates obstacles up to 13 inches, and climbs 40-degree slopes. It supports modular expansion including LiDAR, depth cameras, robotic arms, and specialized security attachments.
Ecosystem-Based Pricing Framework
Faraday Future introduced what it terms a “Demand-Driven Robotics Era” pricing model. Base prices start at $34,990 for FF Futurist, $19,990 for FF Master, and $2,499 for FX Aegis. Each platform includes corresponding Ecosystem Skill Packages priced at $5,000, $3,000, and $1,000 respectively, applicable to units with secondary development capabilities. The company plans to offer financing, leasing, and rental options.
The pricing structure reflects Faraday Future’s “Three-in-One” ecosystem strategy encompassing EAI Device, EAI Brain with open-source platform capabilities, and EAI Decentralized Data Factory components. This approach diverges from traditional robotics pricing by separating hardware from expandable software and skill development layers.
Early Market Response and Production Status
The company reported accumulating over 1,200 non-binding, non-refundable B2B deposits for FF EAI Robotics units. According to the announcement, these business-to-consumer pre-orders originated from entities receiving compensation for co-creation activities. The robots have entered production preparation while scenario-specific customization, testing, and data training proceed in parallel.
Faraday Future outlined a “6-3-3 Industry Applications and Practical Value” framework covering six commercial and public-service scenarios, three family service scenarios, and three industrial scenarios. Target applications span hospitality, retail, real estate, education, theme parks, security, emergency response, and eventually home and factory environments.
The company also announced a non-binding letter of intent with AIxC to explore Web3 collaboration opportunities and introduced the FF Par partner program. This initiative repositions traditional dealerships as “intelligent terminal operators” selling both vehicles and robots through upgraded business and capital models.
As global enterprises evaluate embodied AI investments, Faraday Future’s simultaneous launch across multiple robot categories and aggressive delivery timeline represent a significant market entry. Whether the company can execute on production, delivery, and ecosystem development commitments will determine its competitive position in the rapidly evolving commercial robotics landscape.
ABOUT FARADAY FUTURE
Faraday Future is a California-based global intelligent Company founded in 2014 and is dedicated to reshaping the future of mobility through vehicle electrification, intelligent technologies, and AI innovation. Its flagship vehicle, the FF 91, began deliveries in 2023 and reflects the brand’s pursuit of ultra-luxury, cutting-edge technology, and high performance. FF’s second brand, FX, targets the high-volume mainstream vehicle market. Its first model, Super One, is positioned as a first-class EAI-MPV, with deliveries planned to begin in 2026. FF recently announced its entry into the Embodied AI Robotics business with sales beginning this year, connecting its future strategy of bringing a new era of EAI vehicles and EAI robotics.
