Update:

Los Angeles-based tech firm Faraday Future have next the next step towards what industry authorities are calling the “demand-driven robotics era”.

One of the highlights of last week’s NADA 2026 show at Las Vegas Convention Center, was the unveiling of the company’s star products - three embodied intelligence EAI-Powered Robots: FF Futurist, FF Master, and FX Aegis. All three models are available to buy or pre-order direct from Faraday Future, with the first deliveries expected by the end of the month.

Three robot series for a multitude of tasks

The three robots - two humanoid robots and a quadruped robot, will serve different functions. The humanoid robots can work either in a professional, work environment or as a personal home assistant. The quadruped robot is designed to act as a security guard or travel companion. Let’s take a closer look at them.

FF Futurist is a full-size professional EAI humanoid robot designed and built for real-world roles, and to handle complex tasks where humans and robots work side by side. FF Futurist is powered by the NVIDIA Orin platform, which means it can adapt, learn, and interact naturally. It can support natural interaction in up to 50 languages which allows it to undertake a variety of roles in hotels, showrooms, and museums. In short, FF Futurist is basically a “multilingual super concierge/super host and productive industrial partner” the company enthuses in its press release.

FF Master is Futurist’s baby brother - a compact, intelligent humanoid robot designed for everyday interaction, study, and assistance. “He understands you” claim Faraday Future, and more than being just an AI companion, FF Master can be a real companion who helps in everyday life. For example, sitting down to help the kids with their schoolwork, chatting with your parents, checking on your home while you are away on holiday or business... And like his elder brother, FF Master can adapt and learn new skills.

And finally, the baby of the family: FX Aegis - a professional, embodied AI quadruped robot designed for security and companionship. Aegis can adapt to a wide range of roles - robotic guard dog, reliable travel companion, security warden, rescue worker... basically, a punctual, silent mobile messenger, who “is always the first to enter the scene”.

“Working alongside humans, we believe EAI robots will help reshape productivity models and drive a new leap forward in productivity through human-machine symbiosis,” says YT Jia, founder and Global co-CEO at FF.

So how much will it cost to own one of these robots? FF Futurist series starts from $34,990, plus an additional $5,000 for the Ecosystem Skill Package; the FF Master series starts at $19,990, plus $3,000 for the Ecosystem Skill Package; and the FX Aegis series retails from just $2,499, plus an extra $1,000 for its Ecosystem Skill Package.

Humanoid robot pioneers

Faraday Future hope to become the first US company to deliver both humanoid and bionic robots and will be launching the Mobile Manipulator Robot Series before the summer. “People remember the first,” notes co-CEO Chris Chen. “Apple delivered smartphones to the market. Tesla delivered EVs. We’re doing that for robots.”
