Faraday Future is making a sharp turn toward robotics away from luxury electric vehicles (EVs) with the introduction of five new robot models in nine configurations. The company is putting a “Made in USA” stamp on its robots which range from humanoid to wheeled models and operate with a single “AI brain” to rule them all. Price tags range from $9,900 compact humanoids to over $100,000 for industrial wheeled quadrupeds.

Faraday’s pivot to robotics comes after an unsuccessful foray into the luxury EV marketplace. The California company sold just 16 $300,000 EV vehicles from 2023 to 2025, according to Autoweek. Faraday, however, is parlaying lessons learned from the automotive industry as to how different model configurations are put to a variety of uses.

“Faraday Future is not building a single robot that attempts to do everything,” says Founder and CEO YT Jia. “We are building a robotics ecosystem in which a generalized and adaptable EAI Brain supports multiple robot forms. Our approach aligns with renowned AI scientist and Stanford professor Dr. Fei-Fei Li’s view that multiple robot forms will coexist within one ecosystem. These robot forms not only address a wider range of tasks but also generate real-world data from diverse scenarios and interactions. Through the EAI Data Factory, that data supports EAI Brain training, skills development and EAI device iteration, enabling robot forms and capabilities to evolve together.”

Carrying the flag for Faraday is a “Futurist” humanoid robot positioned as a do-everything professional expert available in standard and ultra variants. The humanoid has 51 degrees of freedom that can be upgraded to 71. A 1,152-watt dual battery system yields eight hours of operation and autonomous charging. The ultra version is powered by a NVIDIA Jetson Thor and delivers 700 TOPS of computing power, giving it the foundation to move beyond executing individual commands to completing entire tasks. The ultra version is priced at $129,000. The humanoid is designed for university research, enterprise services, sports competitions and industrial applications.

Also at the high end at $137,000 is the FX Aegis Hyper, which is an industrial-grade quadruped designed for extreme environments, heavy-duty tasks and high-risk autonomous operations. The machine includes thermal imaging, gas detection, 3D scanning and communications gear. An Aegis Classic and an Aegis Mega are designed for indoor and outdoor security patrols respectively.

At the lower end of the pricing scale is the $9,900 Master Mini humanoid that stands 37 inches tall and weighs 43 pounds. The Master Mini has three configurations that can push the price to $17,990. It’s positioned as an “all-rounder” suitable for everything from competitions to classroom settings.

Generally speaking, Faraday believes interest from education, inspection, security and research markets will allow its robots to walk or roll through their front door. All robots are available now via a network of sales or rental channels.
