Faraday Future Launches Humanoid and Quadruped AI Robots with Paid Preorders at NADA 2026

Faraday Future Intelligent Electric officially entered the embodied AI robotics market after unveiling three new robot product lines at the NADA 2026 show in Las Vegas. The company opened paid preorder reservations on the same day, signaling a strategic expansion beyond electric vehicles into intelligent robotics.

According to the company’s announcement, the first batch of deliveries is scheduled for late February, with production preparation and testing already underway.

Three Robot Series Target Professional and Security Use

The newly announced lineup includes:

• FF Futurist — a full-size humanoid robot designed for professional and advanced operational tasks

• FF Master — a high-mobility humanoid robot balancing performance and affordability

• FX Aegis — a quadruped robot built for security, escort, and complex environments

Faraday Future also confirmed plans to introduce mobile robotic arms in Q2, expanding its automation ecosystem for industrial and service applications.

Official Pricing and Ecosystem Skill Packages

The company revealed starting prices:

• FF Futurist: $34,990 + $5,000 ecosystem skill package

• FF Master: $19,990 + $3,000 ecosystem skill package

• FX Aegis: $2,499 + $1,000 ecosystem skill package

These skill packages are expected to include AI upgrades, feature expansions, and customization options tailored to operational scenarios.

Over 1,200 Commercial Deposits

Faraday Future reported receiving more than 1,200 non-binding B2B deposits, indicating early commercial interest. The robots are currently undergoing customization, testing, and data training aligned with various deployment scenarios including logistics, security, facility management, and human assistance.

“Three-in-One” AI Ecosystem Strategy

At the event, the company showcased its three-in-one embodied AI ecosystem, combining:

• Embodied AI hardware

• An open-source AI brain

• A decentralized data factory for model training

Faraday Future also introduced the FF Par partner model, enabling dealerships to integrate robot sales alongside vehicles and operate smart stations that merge mobility and robotics services.

Vision: Human–Robot Collaboration

Co-founder and global co-CEO YT Jia described the launch as a milestone, emphasizing that embodied AI robots will redefine productivity by enabling deeper collaboration between humans and machines.

Industry observers note that EV companies entering robotics reflects the growing convergence of AI, mobility, and automation technologies.

Long-Term Robotics Market Outlook

The company predicts explosive long-term growth in the robotics sector, suggesting that global robot ownership could eventually surpass the number of vehicles worldwide. While ambitious, analysts agree that accelerating automation and AI adoption make large-scale robotics expansion increasingly plausible.
