FF EAI Robotics Ecosystem Inc. highlighted the participation of the FF EAI Robotics business (the "Robotics Business") at IROS 2026 in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, held September 28–30, 2026. FFR has signed a non-binding term sheet to acquire the Robotics Business from Faraday Future Intelligent Electric Inc. (NASDAQ: FFAI) ("FFAI") at an estimated valuation of approximately $200 million.
IROS is one of the largest and most impactful robotics research conferences worldwide. Pittsburgh is widely recognized as "a leader in robotics research" and is a city at the forefront of robotics innovation, with a strong concentration of robotics companies, research institutions, universities and industry resources.
During the event, FF showcased multiple EAI robot products, introduced the "Built in USA" Acceleration Program, and engaged with guests and partners across the global robotics, artificial intelligence, research and industry application communities through product demonstrations, hands-on experiences and discussions. The All-New Futurist drew particular attention for its mobile operation, flexible task execution and potential applications across multiple scenarios.
For the EAI Brain and Developer Platform, developers actively discussed with the company regarding robot capability development, application scenarios, and ecosystem co-creation. At the same time, FF is actively recruiting in-house development partners.
Through the EAI Data Factory, FF also engaged with potential data partners to discuss real-world data collection, data collaboration, and the role of data in continuously improving EAI robot capabilities.
The company engaged with industry professionals regarding its four Industry Productivity Solutions, which span multiple industry applications. The Research Solution attracted interest from multiple leading research institutions and universities. Participants held in-depth discussions with FF regarding robotics research, education and teaching applications, and potential opportunities for deeper cooperation.
In addition to product and ecosystem engagement, FF advanced its talent recruitment efforts during IROS 2026, seeking professionals in robotics research and development, artificial intelligence, data, and industry solutions.
FF's participation in IROS 2026 represents an important step in advancing the EAI robotics business, expanding the Company's global industry ecosystem and accelerating implementation of its "Built in USA" strategy.
"Participating in IROS 2026 gave us the opportunity to engage directly in Pittsburgh, a city at the forefront of robotics innovation, with guests, developers, industry partners, universities and research institutions from across the field," said YT Jia, Founder and Global CEO of FF. "We will continue to recruit in-house development partners, build our talent base, accelerate implementation of our 'Built in USA' strategy and bring EAI robots into more real-world industry applications."
The Company announced earlier this week that FFAI and FFR (f/k/a AIxCrypto Holdings, Inc.) entered into a non-binding term sheet contemplating FFR's proposed acquisition of FFAI's robotics assets and businesses at an estimated market valuation of approximately $200 million, with the proposed transaction intended to advance the Robotics Business toward an independent public listing.
