Faraday Future Intelligent Electric Inc. (NASDAQ: FFAI) (“Faraday Future”, “FF” or “company”), a California-based global shared intelligent electric mobility ecosystem company, today announced the establishment of FF EAI-Robotics Inc., headquartered in California and officially launched its first batch of Embodied AI (EAI) humanoid and bionic robots —FF Futurist (full-size professional humanoid), FF Master (athletic “action master” humanoid), and FX Aegis (quadruped security/companion). The first batch of deliveries is planned for end of February, with the target to be the first in North America to deliver both humanoid and quadruped robots simultaneously.
The unveiling occurred at the annual National Automobile Dealers Association (NADA) Show in Las Vegas, NV. In addition to the three robotic entries, the company unveiled the “Three-in-One” FF EAI Robotics Ecosystem Strategy, Technology and Product, which includes three core components: EAI Device, EAI Brain & Open-Source and Open Platform, and EAI Decentralized Data Factory. Watch the full video of the event here.
FF not only launched the first three FF embodied intelligence (EAI) robots, but also opened paid non-binding pre-orders and full sales as it strives to achieve initial deliveries in the same month, targeting to become the first U.S. company to deliver both humanoid and quadruped robots and become one of the industry leaders in EAI robotics.
As of today, the total number of FF EAI Robotics units covered by non-binding and non-refundable paid B2B deposits has reached more than 1,200, which marks a terrific start for the company’s robotics goals. These B2C preorders were made by entities receiving compensation for co-creation activities.
EAI Robotics and EAI Vehicles
With this new strategy, FF looks to take the lead in opening a new AI frontier — starting in the U.S. This dual-track growth model, driven by both EAI vehicles and EAI robotics, could define a new growth curve for the company.
This move is a natural extension of the AI DNA that has been embedded in FF since day one. It is also the inevitable evolution of the vehicle-as-robot concept the company proposed ten years ago.
Second, this replicates and upgrades FF’s Auto Industry Bridge model, based on full regulatory compliance and localized deployment of data, software, AI, cloud services, and operating systems, FF could integrate a global EAI supply chain to deliver robots with a high price-performance ratio, filling a critical market void in the United States.
Third, the AI robotics business features lighter investment, faster delivery, and could generate positive operating cash flow more quickly.
Fourth, EAI robotics and EAI vehicles act as twin engines driving FF forward. They work hand-in-hand across R&D, manufacturing, sales, and service. Combined with FF’s Dual-Flywheel, Dual-Bridge, and Dual–Public-Company structure, they could create a strong ecosystem synergy and open a new growth curve for the company.
“Today marks a pivotal and exciting point in FF’s history, one that we’ve been planning for some time now,” said YT Jia, founder and Global co-CEO at FF. “Working alongside humans, we believe EAI robots will help reshape productivity models and drive a new leap forward in productivity through human-machine symbiosis.”
Robots
Three robotic forms were introduced at the NADA event: FF Futurist, FF Master, and FX Aegis. First, FF Futurist, is positioned as a full-size, professional EAI humanoid robot — an all-around expert for professional roles. It is targeted to become the first humanoid robot in the United States to achieve mass production and delivery.
Second, FF Master, positioned as an athletic EAI humanoid robot. It is an all-intelligence action master that truly understands you. We believe that it will be one of the most cost-effective humanoid robot products in the U.S. market.
Third, FX Aegis, positioned as a professional quadruped EAI robot for security and companionship. It is a loyal, practical guardian, and will be one of the earliest robot friends to enter your daily life and work environments.

Powered by the NVIDIA Orin platform, he can deliver up to 200 TOPS of computing power, with support for continuous upgrades and expansion. That means he doesn’t just understand complex environments — he can grow with every new task, every new industry, and every new challenge.
He sees the world in detail with industry-leading perception. He has a perception system that combines multiple high-resolution cameras, fisheye camera, RGB-D camera, 3D LiDAR, and tactile sensors. With Wi-Fi and 5G, he can support remote control, VR teleoperation, and collaborative work.
FF Futurist will have 28 high-performance motors, peak torque of up to 500 newton-meters, a power density of 125 newton-meters per kilogram, three-hour operating time and hot-swappable battery design. He can support natural interaction in up to 50 languages and features a fully customizable, interactive facial display. Combined with tailored software solutions, he can deliver a thousand faces for a thousand robots, adapt to different people, different roles, and different moments.
Regarding usage scenarios, he can be seen in many roles including in hotels, showrooms, and museums — basically a multilingual super concierge. In retail, dealerships, and real estate, he is a most professional super sales advisor. On stage, at launch events, and at shows, he is a composed and versatile super host. In schools, institutions, and labs, he is a forward-looking research and teaching assistant. In theme parks and pop-ups, he can be the most intelligent brand ambassador. In the next phase, he can be entering homes and factories as a friendly household assistant and a productive industrial partner, providing people more time for creativity and innovation.
2. FF Master
This is an athletic EAI humanoid robot — your all-intelligence action master who truly understands you. He can be more than just an AI companion but instead a real companion who helps in everyday life. At home, he can study with your kids, chat with your parents, and help you unwind. When you are away, he helps you check in on your home through remote video and sensors after the upgrade to make sure everything is okay. He can adapt and learn new skills. He has 30 degrees of freedom in his body, not counting his hands.
Regarding usage scenarios, he can be a "chief interaction officer" at events. In classrooms and labs, he can be a hands-on assistant for research and training. He can constantly evolve, maybe become your personal trainer, or your outdoor companion — stepping beyond the living room, exploring further, and discovering more possibilities of life.

FF’s Robotics Brand Vision
Through FF EAI-Robotics Inc. and the brand slogan “Solving real-world problems with EAI, and building a civilization of human-machine symbiotic productivity,” FF positions embodied AI robots, together with vehicles, to drive the next stage of productivity and civilization evolution.
“6-3-3” Industry Applications and Practical Value
Built on six leading tech/product advantages, FF introduced the “6-3-3 Industry Applications and Practical Value” framework: six commercial and public-service scenarios, three family service scenarios, and three industrial scenarios — covering needs across enterprises, public institutions, households, and tech-enthusiast individuals.
Four Trends
FF outlined four key trends for the robotics industry: general and autonomy; profession and expertise; data as an asset; and protocol-based ecosystem. These define the path from single-purpose machines to a scalable human-machine symbiotic ecosystem.
FF Par — FF’s Co-Creation User Ecosystem Partner Program
FF Par introduces two major upgrades to the traditional dealership model. First, a business model upgrade. Instead of relying solely on one-time vehicle sales, FF Par enables a sustainable revenue model built on vehicle sales, user operations, and intelligent terminal ecosystem operations. Partners can share in the long-term value across the product lifecycle — without bearing traditional risks such as high inventory pressure, high operating costs, or pricing instability.
Second, a capital model upgrade. Partners are brought into FF’s co-creation ecosystem — meaning dealers don’t just sell products, they become stakeholders, directly participating in and sharing the long-term capital value. The upgraded dealer and partner platform redefines the traditional dealership model with a user-operations–driven partner platform that upgrades both business (vehicle sales, user operations, and intelligent terminal ecosystem) and capital models (partners becoming FF-level value sharers), positioning future dealers as “intelligent terminal operators” selling both vehicles and robots.
FF firmly believes that FF’s user co-creation ecosystem will inject new vitality into automotive dealerships across the United States — offering an innovative solution built on user operations and intelligent terminal ecosystems. FF also believes that the future sales channels for robotics will highly overlap with automotive channels. Tomorrow’s car dealers can evolve into “intelligent terminal operators” — selling both vehicles and robotics products.
Looking over the long-term, FF believes that global robot ownership could reach tens of billions of units over time, potentially far exceeding the scale of today’s global automobile fleet.
