Faraday Future · Humanoid · 2026
The FF Futurist is a full-size professional humanoid from Faraday Future's robotics subsidiary (FF EAI-Robotics), launched in early 2026 as the EV maker's pivot into embodied AI and billed as a candidate to be the first US humanoid in mass production. The 2026 'All-New Futurist' revision stands about 1.73 m and weighs roughly 55 kg, with 31 degrees of freedom (excluding hands), 320 N·m peak knee torque, a top running speed near 11 mph and a 1,152 Wh dual-battery system giving up to six hours of runtime with auto-charging. It runs a VLA + World Model 'brain' on NVIDIA's Sonic motion-control system (Jetson Thor on the Ultra), supports up to 50 languages, and targets reception, guided-service, and light industrial roles. Pricing starts around $34,990.
