Faraday Future, in collaboration with Jia Yuting, held a presentation of embodied artificial intelligence (EAI) robots on September 20th, introducing nine new robot configurations and four solutions for enhancing productivity across various industries.
These models include humanoid and quadrupedal form factors from the Futurist, Master, and Aegis lines, with a starting retail price of $9,990 USD. Jia Yuting, the founder, explained this leap forward is achieved by creating a multi-bodied robot ecosystem that relies on an overarching EAI brain, agents, skills, and real-world scenario data, without requiring equity or funding.
The next-generation Futurist model is positioned as a full-sized professional humanoid robot with 51 active degrees of freedom, which can be increased to 71 with the installation of an enhanced dexterous hand. It is equipped with two batteries totaling 1,152 Wh, provides about eight hours of standard operation, and supports autonomous charging.
The Ultra variant of this model utilizes NVIDIA Jetson Thor, providing approximately 700 TOPS, and is intended for research purposes, embodied development, corporate services, and industrial applications. The standard Ultra configuration costs $89,900, while the Ultra version is priced at $129,900.
The Master Mini is aimed at education and sports competitions. This robot, standing about 95 cm tall and weighing 19.5 kg, is available in three performance tiers (48, 117, and 200 TOPS) at prices of $9,990, $12,990, and $17,990, respectively.
The Aegis line features wheeled-legged models. The Classic Ultra-W is a lightweight companion for security, weighing about 22 kg and costing $12,990. The Mega is a medium-sized industrial unit capable of carrying a payload of up to 50 kg, climbing continuous stairs up to 25 cm high and obstacles up to 80 cm high, equipped with hot-swappable dual batteries, and providing at least five hours of unloaded operation; its price is $74,990. The Hyper is a large industrial quadruped robot designed for heavy-duty work in extreme conditions, with a starting price of $137,900.
The four solution packages cover needs in K-12 education using Blockly, Python, and ROS curricula; research; security through multi-robot patrolling and multimodal alerts; and inspection of energy, power supply, manufacturing, and mining facilities.
Faraday Future announced that its EAI robot world has transitioned to version 2.0, including humanoid, quadrupedal, and wheeled-manipulator robot families in the Futurist, Master, Aegis, Navi, and Faber models. A total of eleven models and 24 products have been presented, among which nine new configurations have been priced.
