“With today’s second half launch of our full-form EAI Robot World, we have showcased FF’s latest progress across multi-form robotics, device capabilities, real-world applications, and ecosystem development, and it marks an important milestone for FF as the Six-Series Full-Form FF EAI Robot World has finally come together as a complete lineup,” said YT Jia, Founder and Global CEO of FF. “Our ultimate core strategy is to build a three-in-one ecosystem powered by Devices, Data, the EAI Brain & Open-Source and Open Developer Platform and today’s event shows we are well on our way.”
FF’s Robot World:
Unlike many leading companies that focus on a single general-purpose humanoid robot, FF planned from the beginning to build a “one brain, multiple forms” product strategy. Our goal is to use VLA + World Model as the foundational model and build a generalizable EAI Brain based on FF’s EAI 5×4 technology architecture. Then, through multi-form robot devices and differentiated combinations of EAI Agents and Skills, we can quickly package the same core brain capabilities into different devices for different use cases.
In this Robot World, FF has three major form factors across six key series of devices: the humanoid robots: Futurist, Master, and Nova; the quadruped bionic robot: Aegis and Navi; and the mobile manipulator series Faber, which FF is launching today.
Navi, which FF launched several days ago on June 16, is the first foundational EAI education quadruped robot in the U.S. It is also the only robot dog in the U.S. priced under $2,000 that supports secondary development —a child’s first robot to open the door to the world of Physical AI.
Bringing all six series together is especially important in four ways.
1. It helps move EAI robotics beyond innovation in robot devices alone and into a new stage of coordinated innovation across the brain, robot devices, data, real-world use cases, and the broader ecosystem.
2. It means FF can match the right EAI robot device to the right applications, so robots can become productivity tools and daily companions that people can access, put to work, receive and deploy, and use to create real value.
3. It provides an open ecosystem foundation, where they can develop skills/agents and industry solutions together on top of our platform.
4. It positions us among the companies with the most complete range of robot form factors in the U.S., and potentially globally. It also gives our “Device + Skills + Data” ecosystem revenue model greater room to scale, further strengthening FF’s evolutionary flywheel and long-term moat.
New Device launch:
All-New Futurist
On June 16, FF introduced the All-New Futurist and gave you a first look at some of its capabilities. Compared with the previous generation, the All-New Futurist has evolved across four major dimensions: structure, motion, energy, and interaction.
The All-New Futurist is an All-in-One professional expert, the first full-size humanoid robot device in the U.S. to natively support NVIDIA Sonic’s full-body motion control system for humanoid robots, perfectly suited for full-size humanoid motion control related academic research and especially for publishing relevant research papers. It comes equipped with the brightest brain and incomparable motion capabilities.
The body. The all-new Futurist stands about 5 feet 8 inches, and weighs only about 121 pounds — around 14% lighter than the previous generation. Its new T-shaped structure gives the robot greater stability and enables a more human-like walking posture.
Next, actuation. The all-new Futurist has 31 degrees of freedom across its body, not including the hands. Its peak knee-joint torque was increased to 320 newton meter. With more degrees of freedom and improved balance control, it delivers a major leap in mobility efficiency and adaptability in complex environments. Powering all of this is a new 1,152-watt-hour dual-battery system. It enables approximately 6 hours of continuous operation, three times the runtime of the previous generation, making 24/7 commercial deployment truly possible. The Ultra version also supports autonomous charging. When the battery runs low, it can automatically return to its dock and recharge, bringing unattended continuous operation into real-world use.
More importantly, both its AI brain and cerebellum, or motion-control system, are built around a VLA-based embodied AI architecture, with World Model capabilities integrated to create a closed loop across perception, reasoning, planning, and execution.
Its cerebellum is natively compatible with the NVIDIA SONIC whole-body control system. Together with the upgraded curved head display and active multimodal interaction, this provides the best full-size humanoid motion control research and development platform for Robotics research institutions globally. Looking ahead, we expect the coming months to bring a wave of research results and academic papers around NVIDIA SONIC-based motion control for full-size robots. The Company also believes this will become an important platform for supporting applications for national research grants in related fields.
The Ultra version, scheduled for release later this year, will be powered by the Jetson Thor high-performance AI compute platform. Designed for more complex, longer-duration, and higher-intensity professional applications, it will significantly enhance real-time reasoning, multi-sensor fusion, and autonomous task execution.
As an all-in-one professional expert, the All-New Futurist is designed for a wide range of applications. In business and public service environments, it can support reception, marketing, guided services, hosting, and interactive engagement. It can also be deployed in education and research, as well as sports and fitness. In industrial settings, it can perform flexible operations, warehouse handling, and high-risk emergency tasks. And in the home, it can assist with household tasks, health support, and companion care.
The renewal of the All-New Futurist is not just an upgrade in specifications. It marks a major leap toward making full-size humanoid robots more professional, more specialized, and truly ready for real-world deployment.
Pricing. The price of the All-New Futurist is $89,900, including the $10,000 value premium Skills package. This price point completely redefines the price-performance benchmark for full-size humanoid robots. Among products with comparable specifications and performance, FF believes the All-New Futurist delivers value at a level the market has never seen before. As for the Ultra version, FF will announce its price at a launch event later this year.
Faber Series
The name Faber comes from Latin and means “skilled craftsman.” FF Faber is the first industrial-grade EAI mobile manipulator series in the U.S. ready for commercial sales and delivery. Its slogan is “An industrial-grade EAI operator — a general-purpose platform for specialized operations, built to be autonomous, precise, and open.”
Why is FF launching a mobile manipulator product? Faber breaks the boundary for traditional fixed robotic arms and AMRs, it combines the high precision of fixed robotic arms, the autonomous mobility of AMRs, and the coordinated, flexible operating capabilities of humanoid robots. This allows Faber to operate in a more human-like way, adapt more naturally to human environments, and collaborate more seamlessly with people.
The Faber series is built around three core commonalities.
First, commonality at the brain level. Powered by VLA + World Model, Faber uses one brain to support multiple capabilities. Within the same robot form factor, different hardware configurations and Skills can be combined to support different categories of specialized operations.
Second, commonality at the mechanical and actuation level. With autonomous navigation, omnidirectional mobility, dual-arm coordination, and precision operation. A single arm can lift up to 11 pounds, while both arms can work together to handle transport, assembly, and delicate operations that would be difficult for one arm alone. Its operating range extends from ground level to about 6.6 feet high, with force-control precision better than 0.5 newtons. Faber is built to move into position and execute tasks with accuracy.
Third, commonality in using a shared and open technology platform with FF’s industrial customers. Faber fully supports exclusive customization, providing customers with the best industry solutions. Building on these shared capabilities, the three Faber sub-series each bring their own strengths and areas of specialization.
Faber U is the most advanced configuration in the series. It is equipped with the Thor high-performance AI compute platform, dual LiDAR, and a multi-camera sensing system. Faber T has already been deployed at scale for power inspection, energy infrastructure, and data centers. It can take over high-risk tasks from humans, such as closing electrical switches. Faber S offers the largest arm span and operating range, and comes with a complete embodied-AI data collection toolchain. Faber S will make its debut during ISTE Live 26 on June 30th.
Faber’s value can be understood in two layers. The first is substitution value. Fixed robotic arms are highly precise, but they cannot move. AMRs can transport goods, but they cannot load, unload, or grasp objects. Faber brings the strengths together. It can move freely across multiple workstations and production lines, and independently complete some of the most frequent and valuable tasks in industrial settings, including loading, unloading, and material handling.
The second is incremental value. Compared with humanoid robots, Faber does not need to consume energy to maintain balance, giving it higher stability and precision. Compared with an “AMR plus human labor” model, Faber can reduce labor costs while also moving people out of high-risk environments.
In terms of use cases, Faber’s primary focus today is industrial loading, unloading, and logistics transfer. It can also support reception and guided services, sorting, retail and supermarket operations, indoor inspection, research and education, and intelligent production in light industrial settings.
Looking ahead, Faber will grow into a “robot worker” on the production line and take part in the production of FF’s own robots. “Robots building robots” will become a model use case for FF’s industrial ecosystem. As costs continue to come down, home services and family companionship may also become part of Faber’s everyday applications. Starting today, Faber robot bodies are available for purchase.

Industrial Ecosystem
With the launch of the Faber EAI mobile manipulator series, FF is also giving a first look at the second core ecosystem for FF EAI robots beyond education: the industrial ecosystem. If education is FF’s first entry point for bringing EAI robots into the home and the B2C market, then industry is FF’s key entry point for scaling B2B deployment and expanding commercial value.
The core value of the industrial ecosystem can be seen in five areas.
First, efficiency improvement. Robots can take on repetitive, high-frequency, and standardized tasks, improving efficiency across warehousing, production, inspection, operations, and maintenance.
Second, cost reduction. Robots can help companies reduce their dependency on intensive manual labor and optimize long-term operating costs.
Third, safety enhancement. Robots can enter high-risk, high-temperature, high-pressure, and other environments where people are not suited to remain for extended periods, reducing risk to human workers.
Fourth, data accumulation. Real industrial operation data can be used to train the EAI Brain, driving the continuous evolution of robot capabilities.
And fifth, ecosystem solutions. Supported by FF’s three-in-one ecosystem, FF will provide industrial customers with complete ecosystem capabilities and end-to-end solutions.
Next, FF EAI robots will gradually be deployed across use cases such as factory production support, light warehouse logistics, industrial facility inspection and security, equipment operations and maintenance, and broader commercial and industrial services. About six months later, FF will hold an official industrial ecosystem launch event, where we will share more products, solutions, and ecosystem partnership plans.
Following FF’s launch today, AIxC also hosted the most important business launch event since going public. AIxC announced its EAI ecosystem + Web3 strategy and products focused on EAI robots, with a major focus on launching a robot-sharing network and platform. The goal is to create an “Uber + Turo” model for robotics, giving robots a second life cycle and shared value, and helping shift from one-time hardware sales product into a new type of productive asset that can generate sustainable revenue.
