Gasgoo Munich - At 7:30 a.m. Beijing time on Feb. 5, Faraday Future (FF) took the stage at the National Automobile Dealers Association show in Las Vegas to unveil its first lineup of embodied AI robots. The launch broadens FF’s smart mobility ecosystem and highlights a technical roadmap aimed at finding new growth engines beyond its core electric vehicle business.

Jia Yueting, FF’s founder, partner, and chief product and user ecosystem officer, detailed the lineup on social media. The new robots span three distinct series: the Futurist, a full-size professional humanoid designed for specialized applications; the Master, a sports-oriented humanoid focused on movement and interaction; and the Aegis, a quadruped built for security and companionship, featuring a standard four-legged structure with an optional four-wheeled variant. FF also disclosed plans to launch a wheeled-arm robot series in the second quarter of this year.

According to images released by Jia, starting prices for the trio are set: the Futurist series starts at $34,990, the Master at $19,990, and the Aegis at $2,499. However, detailed technical specifications, mass production timelines, and target markets have yet to be fully disclosed.
Since going public, FF has navigated a rocky road, with funding and production hurdles pushing the company to the brink of bankruptcy. Jia returned as co-CEO last April to steer a strategic overhaul. Now, this high-profile push into embodied AI is seen as a pivotal move for FF to construct a compelling technology narrative and draw in potential investors and partners.
