Faraday Future, the EV startup whose car-delivery numbers have historically looked like a group chat headcount, has a new pitch: buy its robots. The company is now showing off a lineup that includes a humanoid, a quadruped, and an industrial robot arm - because when Plan A is hard, sometimes you add legs. 

Meet the Robo-roster

• All-New Futurist: FF’s full-size humanoid robot, pitched for more advanced embodied-AI use cases. 

• FX Navi: a smaller quadruped robot aimed at education and learning, priced at $1,990. 

• Master Mini: a smaller humanoid concept previewed as part of FF’s broader robot lineup. 

• Nova: another smaller humanoid concept, also previewed during the launch. 

From the event floor: I was at Faraday Future’s El Segundo launch event, where the company introduced four new EAI devices: the full-size All-New Futurist humanoid, the FX Navi quadruped, and two smaller humanoid concepts called Master Mini and Nova. The core pitch was that FF can take the AI and software work it has done for cars and extend it into robots for homes, schools, factories, and public spaces. It was an ambitious reset for a company still trying to prove it can ship at scale - and a reminder that in 2026, every mobility company eventually finds its way to robotics. 

The awkward bit: Faraday said in January 2025 it had sold “15 or 16” vehicles. Now it expects over 100 robot shipments in June and says first-half shipments should top its 220-unit target. That’s not a comeback story yet - but it is a very expensive side quest. I’ll be keeping my eye on this one.
