Faraday Future Launches Nine Robots Priced up to 926,000 RMB
Faraday Future unveils a lineup of nine humanoid and quadrupedal robots, with prices ranging from 67,000 to 926,000 RMB.
Key points
- Faraday Future launched nine robot models with prices ranging from 67,000 RMB to 926,000 RMB.
- The flagship humanoid robot features 51 degrees of freedom and up to 700 TOPS of computing power.
- The company offers direct sales and leasing options through a unified '6+1' channel system.
Faraday Future has officially launched its 'Quad-Core Intelligence' series, introducing nine distinct robot configurations across two primary forms: humanoid and quadrupedal. The lineup, revealed on September 19, spans a wide price range, starting at approximately 67,000 RMB and reaching up to 926,000 RMB for the most advanced industrial models. This release marks a significant expansion of the company's hardware portfolio, moving beyond single-purpose devices toward a broader ecosystem of robotic entities.
According to reports from KuCoin, the new products are designed to function within an open ecosystem that includes a developer platform and data infrastructure. The company stated that its goal is to build a general-purpose robotic brain that supports multiple physical forms, allowing for continuous evolution through real-world scenario data and specialized skills. This approach contrasts with the development of isolated, all-in-one robots, aiming instead for flexibility and adaptability across different industries.
High-End Hardware Specifications
The flagship humanoid model, the FF All-New Futurist, features 51 active degrees of freedom, which can expand to 71 with an upgraded dexterous hand. It is powered by a dual-battery system with a capacity of 1152 Wh, supporting approximately eight hours of operation. The top-tier Ultra version is equipped with an NVIDIA Jetson Thor processor, delivering 700 TOPS of computing power. The standard model is priced at $89,900, while the Ultra version costs $129,900.
For the quadrupedal segment, the lineup includes the industrial-grade FX Aegis Hyper, which is the most expensive model in the series at $137,900. The mid-sized FX Aegis Mega offers a maximum load capacity of 50 kg and is priced at $74,990. A more lightweight option, the FX Aegis Classic Ultra-W, is designed for security and companion roles, priced at $12,990. These specifications highlight a clear tiering strategy, with higher prices corresponding to increased computational power, load capacity, and operational autonomy.
Targeting Education and Security Sectors
The launch includes four industry-specific productivity solutions, focusing on K-12 education, research, security, and inspection. The education solution offers a three-tier curriculum covering Blockly, Python, and ROS, supported by a unified SDK and simulation capabilities. The security and inspection solution targets environments such as campuses, energy facilities, and mining sites, supporting autonomous patrolling, thermal imaging, and gas detection. These integrations suggest that the hardware is intended to be paired with specific software suites for professional use cases.
Direct Sales and Leasing Model
Faraday Future is implementing a '6+1' direct sales and shared leasing system, unifying six channels under a single ordering and after-sales framework. Customers can place orders via the official website and third-party platforms such as Amazon and RobotShop. The company also offers on-demand leasing through its subsidiary AIxC’s RoboShare, providing an alternative to outright purchase. This business model aims to lower the barrier to entry for organizations that may not wish to commit to a full capital expenditure for high-cost robotic hardware.
