Faraday Future Intelligent Electric Inc. (NASDAQ: FFAI) (“Faraday Future”, “FF” or the “Company”), a California-based global Embodied AI (EAI) ecosystem company, unveiled the first-half launch of its full-form EAI Robot World spanning six major product series, launched the world's first Three-in-One EAI Robotics Education Ecosystem Strategy, and debuted the All-New Futurist humanoid robot and FX Navi quadruped robot, with FX Navi priced at $1,990 and sales and delivery opening immediately.
“With today’s launch of our full-form EAI Robot World, the world’s first Three-in-One EAI Robotics Education Ecosystem Strategy, and the All-New Futurist and FX Navi, FF is moving decisively to become a pathbreaker, ecosystem builder, and mass-adoption driver in the global B2C robotics market,” said YT Jia, Founder and Global CEO of FF. “Together with our education partners, our vision of the world’s first robotics education ecosystem serving both B2B institutions and B2C family education is quickly becoming a reality.”
FF also officially launched the FF Robotics Par (Partner) Program, opening the door to global collaboration with partners around the world. Today’s event, held at FF’s new headquarters in El Segundo, CA, was attended by the FF leadership team, employees, media, investors, representatives from nearby schools and numerous other invited guests. A congratulatory video from California State Treasurer Fiona Ma, recorded especially for today's launch, was also played for those in attendance.
Four New EAI devices:
All-New Futurist
Positioned as FF’s all-in-one professional expert, the All-New Futurist is the first full-size humanoid in the U.S. to natively support NVIDIA Sonic’s full-body motion control system as its cerebellum, and the upcoming All-New Futurist Ultra will be powered by the Jetson Thor high-performance computing chip — delivering one of the strongest motion capabilities in the industry.
Body: lighter, stronger, more refined. The robot stands about 5 feet 8 inches and weighs only about 121 pounds — around 14% lighter than the previous generation. A new T-shaped structure improves stability and enables a more human-like walking posture.
Actuation: 31 degrees of freedom across the body (excluding the hands) and peak knee-joint torque of 320 newton-meters. It can do more than walk — it can truly run, with a top speed of up to about 11 miles per hour. A new 1,152 watt-hour dual-battery system delivers up to six hours of runtime, three times the previous generation.
Brain: built on the VLA + World Model, the All-New Futurist integrates perception, understanding, and action, thinking one step ahead before it acts.
Use cases span reception, performances, and guided services in commercial and public settings, plus flexible factory tasks, warehouse handling, and hazardous-environment operations in industrial deployments. Together these upgrades deliver lower cost and higher efficiency via dual batteries and auto-charging, expanded capability through more degrees of freedom, vision-guided control, and all-terrain walking, and a richer experience through stable, refined motion and active multimodal interaction on its curved facial display.
Today’s launch is only the first half of the story — more detailed specs and applications will be revealed at Automate in Chicago on June 22.
FX Navi
The first foundational EAI learning quadruped robot in the United States. Designed by FF for home and classroom use and paired with the nation’s first EAI STEM curriculum framework, Navi connects learning, programming, and hands-on creation, helping children grow from EAI users into EAI builders and creators.
First, Navi is a true Embodied AI robot. With 12 joint motors, it walks smoothly through everyday spaces — door thresholds, carpets, hallways. At 46.5 × 20 × 51.5 cm and only 8 kg, it fits easily into a classroom or living room.
Second, a built-in education ecosystem and continuous OTA evolution: a visual programming platform, official curriculum, and Skill Store grow with the child. The more Navi is used, the smarter it becomes.
Third, a smartphone becomes Navi’s brain. Slotted into the head module, the phone’s compute, camera, and microphone power Navi’s senses — iOS and Android both supported.
Fourth, FF has released the 3D model of Navi’s head module, so children can design and print their own, swap skins, and add stickers — no two Navis need look alike.
Fifth, OTA upgrades will keep adding built-in AI capabilities, including autonomous following, multimodal perception, and interaction through language, facial expression, and movement.
Navi starts at $1,990 — ready to use out of the box. For an additional one-time $390, the Lifetime Premium Development & Skills Package unlocks lifetime access to a complete development ecosystem, with tools for beginners, creators, and professional developers. For $490 per year, the Curriculum Skills Package adds a step-by-step Embodied AI curriculum across nine progressive levels. Both packages are shared across FF's EAI robot lineup — not exclusive to Navi.
FX Aegis starts at $4,490 and FF Master at $37,990. All-New Futurist pricing will be revealed at Automate on June 22; Nova and Master Mini will follow at their respective launches.
Navi is available today through FF Mall and partner e-commerce, with livestream sales on TikTok and continued expansion into mainstream channels for families, schools, and institutions.
Master Mini & Nova Preview Launch
We’re also previewing two new humanoid robots. Master Mini, about 1 meter tall, is the first compact Embodied AI humanoid in the U.S. designed for both education and athletic competition — a true EAI platform that can step onto the field, compete, and kick a real ball. Nova, about 50 centimeters tall, is the first entry-level miniature Embodied AI humanoid in the U.S. designed for both education and companionship — an EAI learning companion that can grow alongside children. Full configurations, features, and pricing will follow in dedicated launch events.
These products mark a new generation of American Physical AI and robotics — part of a U.S.-led “Made in USA” ecosystem FF is building to drive advanced-manufacturing reshoring and create value for the U.S. economy.
FF’s Five Unique Advantages
Behind these devices is what FF calls a “one brain, multiple forms” approach — enabled by five unique advantages.
First, a continuously evolving EAI Brain and an open-source, open developer platform. With VLA + World Model as the foundation model, FF’s first-phase goal is to make it the No. 1 Brain and No. 1 foundation model for the global EAI robotics education ecosystem. Built on FF’s self-developed EAI 5×4 technology architecture, together with open-source and open models and FF’s robot Skills and Agent system, the EAI Brain is designed to operate across use cases, act with greater autonomy, and generalize to new tasks — capabilities FF is rapidly packaging into professional roles across virtually every profession and industry.
Second, FF’s full-form FF EAI Robot World for EAI devices. Unlike leading companies that focus on a single general-purpose humanoid, FF has taken a “one brain, multiple forms” approach from the start, combining one generalizable Brain with multiple robot form factors and EAI Agents and Skills to accelerate the path for robots to develop domain expertise, take on professional roles, and move toward scaled deployment.
Third, the EAI Data Factory, which supplies data from real-world use cases.
Fourth, FF’s global EAI industry bridge, which delivers cost and efficiency advantages.
Fifth, an evolutionary ecosystem flywheel and moat built on the first four advantages, together with scaled delivery and deployment.
EAI Education Ecosystem Strategy Launch
FF officially launched its FF EAI Education Ecosystem strategy, the world’s first Three-in-One EAI robotics education ecosystem, designed for both B2C family education and B2B educational institutions. under the theme “Grow with EAI” — growing alongside Physical AI.
Built on FF’s global EAI industry bridge strategy and powered by its Three-in-One ecosystem strategy, the FF EAI Robotics Education ecosystem is a complete solution and education system.
For B2C users, the ecosystem is designed to enable the first wave of families to bring robots into the home, helping children enter the world of Physical AI earlier and shape an AI-native generation.
For B2B users, FF’s EAI education ecosystem is designed to empower research and education across the full value chain. Scaled device deployment, an open-source and open EAI Brain, and the Data Factory together create unique value for the research and education sector.
By making family education the first B2C entry point for EAI robots, FF aims to unlock the home market and create more consumer use cases for EAI robots.
FF Open-Source and Open Developer Platform
FF also announced that its FF Open-Source and Open Developer Platform — Youth Edition is now live, centered on openness and development and comprising two parts: developer-facing services and the user-facing Agent Skill Store. At the center of the platform is a complete developer toolchain. Today, FF is opening access to the first set of tools: Brain Blocks — a block-based programming platform that supports the full path from Blocks to ROS 2, one-code deployment across multiple robot models, and Vibe Coding, which allows users to generate programs using natural language. EAI Soul — a “soul” engine that helps shape a robot’s personality, voice, and dedicated knowledge base. Create Studio Beta — a tool that can generate robot motion from an uploaded video. SDK/API — a local development kit for professional developers. All the tools can be tested in simulation first and then deployed to real robots with one click.
The developer portal is the single-entry point and growth hub for the platform. It is open to three types of developers: young developers ages 6 to 18; community developers, including educators, industry experts, content creators; and professional engineers and research teams. Each developer follows a growth path and level system, and can develop, test, and publish Agent Skills through the portal. FF’s physical robotics labs will also open to developers for scheduled visits and hands-on work with real robots.
FF is also launching the Youth Agent Skill Store, where children can publish their own Agent Skills, build their portfolios, and try out the projects created by their classmates. Teachers can also share outstanding projects with the entire class, letting students see their own creations running on a real robot.
FF also launched its Developer Ecosystem Program, prioritizing incentives for developers in key sectors such as education and security. Through revenue sharing, hackathons, campus programs, and global community exposure, FF aims to help every developer earn recognition and rewards for what they create.
FF Robotics Par Program
FF officially launched the FF Robotics Par (Partner) Program to drive global collaboration across three partner categories: regional channel partners, to expand FF's sales and service network; education content partners, to develop curriculum, teaching content, and classroom applications; and ecosystem co-creation partners, to deepen collaboration across products, data, operations, and services and jointly build an open robotics ecosystem.
On June 22 at Automate in Chicago, FF will launch additional EAI devices under its full-form EAI Robot World, including FF’s wheeled mobile manipulator. FF will also showcase more real-world applications and ecosystem partnership updates. FF invites users, parents, educational institutions, commercial customers, developers, and ecosystem partners to join us in bringing EAI robots into the real world.
