Faraday Future says its robotics business is picking up speed, and the company is heading into Automate 2026 with more robots to show.
In a new weekly investor update, founder and global CEO YT Jia said Faraday Future expects robot device shipments in June to exceed 100 units. He also said cumulative shipments since March are expected to surpass the company’s original 220-unit target ahead of schedule. The company says it is sticking with a “payment-before-delivery” sales model and aiming for positive gross margin direction as the robot business expands.
That is the business part. The robot part is more interesting.
Faraday Future used the update to recap its June 16 launch of the Six-Series Full-Form FF EAI Robot World, which introduced four new members to the lineup: All-New Futurist, FX Navi, FF Master Mini and FF Nova. The company also officially launched what it calls the world’s first Three-in-One EAI Robotics Education Ecosystem, built around devices, data, an EAI Brain, and an open-source and open developer platform.
The strategy is basically “one brain, multiple forms.” Instead of building only one humanoid or one robot dog, Faraday Future is trying to create a full robot shelf. The same EAI Brain and developer tools are supposed to support different robot bodies for different uses, from classroom learning to family education to industrial work.
FX Navi is the most immediate product in that lineup. Faraday Future says the quadruped robot is priced at $1,990 and is now available for immediate purchase and delivery. The company is positioning Navi as the first foundational EAI learning quadruped robot in the United States and the only robot dog under $2,000 that supports secondary development.
Faraday Future also highlighted the All-New Futurist, which it describes as the first full-size humanoid robot in the U.S. to natively support NVIDIA Sonic’s full-body motion control system. The company said the All-New Futurist Ultra will be powered by the Jetson Thor chip and is aimed at full-size humanoid motion-control research, including academic research and paper publishing.
The June 16 launch also brought the Youth Edition of Faraday Future’s open developer platform online. The first tools include Brain Blocks, EAI Soul and SDK/API access. Faraday Future says the platform is meant to help families, students, schools and developers start building around embodied AI rather than just buying closed robots.
Now the company is turning to Automate in Chicago. Faraday Future said that at 5 p.m. Pacific time on June 22, it will show the complete lineup for the Six-Series Full-Form FF EAI Robot World, launch a new mobile manipulator, complete the second-half launch of the All-New Futurist and preview its EAI Robotics Industrial Ecosystem.
Faraday Future also teased the next step on X, saying “the next chapter is taking shape” and that two new devices will step into the FF EAI Robot World, fully unveiled June 22 live from Chicago.
The mobile manipulator may be the key piece to watch. Education robots can introduce Faraday Future’s platform to families and schools, but industrial robots are where the company will have to prove its EAI Brain can handle tougher, more practical work. A mobile manipulator brings the idea closer to factories, logistics sites, service work and other environments where a robot needs both mobility and hands-on usefulness.
Faraday Future also previewed an AIxC launch tied to an EAI ecosystem and Web3 strategy for robots, including a robot-sharing network that Jia compared to an “Uber + Turo” model for robotics. The idea is to turn robots from one-time hardware sales into productive assets that can be shared and generate recurring value.
That is a big vision, and Faraday Future still has plenty to prove. The company needs to deliver the robots, support customers, build developer momentum, and show that demand can survive beyond launch-week excitement.
