Gasgoo Munich- FF (Faraday Future) took the stage at the Automate robotics and automation show in Chicago on June 23 to host the second half of its FF EAI Robot World launch. There, the company unveiled the new Futurist and the FF Faber—billed as the first industrial-grade EAI wheeled-legged robot series in the U.S.—while offering a first look at its broader FF EAI robot industrial ecosystem strategy.That completes the company's "full-form" FF EAI robot world, bringing together six major series: the humanoid Futurist, Master, and Nova; the quadruped bionic Aegis and Navi; and the wheeled-legged Faber. The lineup now forms a complete product matrix across all form factors.Image Credit: FFThe centerpiece of the rollout is the FF Faber wheeled-legged robot series, positioned as the first industrial-grade EAI wheeled-legged robot in the U.S. available for sale and delivery.The Faber lineup includes three variants: the high-spec Faber U, the Faber T designed for power inspection and data center operations, and the Faber S, which boasts the largest arm span. Notably, the Faber S is set to debut on June 30 at the ISTE Live 26 conference. The series aims to bridge the gap between traditional fixed robotic arms and Autonomous Mobile Robots (AMRs), targeting applications such as industrial loading and unloading, logistics transfer, and inspection.Meanwhile, FF set the price for its new full-size humanoid robot, the Futurist, at $89,900—a figure that includes a $10,000 enhanced Skills package. Standing roughly 173 centimeters tall and weighing 55 kilograms, the new Futurist features 31 degrees of freedom and a 1,152Wh dual-battery system offering up to six hours of runtime. It is the first hardware product in the U.S. to natively support NVIDIA's Sonic whole-body motion control system.FF Founder and Global CEO Jia Yueting stated that the launch of the Faber series completes the company's product layout for its "full-form EAI robot world." Additionally, FF offered a preview of its EAI robot industrial ecosystem strategy, with a formal launch planned for roughly six months from now. This ecosystem will target B2B applications, including factory production assistance, warehousing and logistics, and campus inspections.On the delivery front, FF forecasts that robot unit shipments will exceed 100 in June. That puts the company on track to surpass its previously set target of 220 units for the first half of the year.
