FF EAI Robotics Launches Humanoid Robot Under $2,500, New Education Programs

FF EAI Robotics (FFR) and Faraday Future (FF) have launched the FF Nova, an embodied AI humanoid robot priced at under $2,500 in the United States. The device is positioned as an entry-level EAI humanoid robot and a "physical AI lab in a backpack," targeting developers and the educational ecosystem.

The FF Nova is priced at $2,490, with a developer skills package available for $390. The launch will occur in three phases, beginning with an invitation-only period, followed by wider availability to developers and educational institutions, and concluding with a full consumer release. Additionally, the company introduced the FF Nova Mini, a foundational physical AI education platform designed for children and teenagers, priced at $299 with accompanying curriculum for $499.

The companies also unveiled the "Physical AI Spark Program Curriculum" to support physical AI education. A developer program for FF Nova, focusing on reinforcement learning with support from Nvidia's Isaac platform, has been established. Recruitment for an invitation-only developer community has also commenced.

FFR and FFAI announced a definitive agreement for FFR to acquire FFAI's robotics assets and business for approximately $200 million in an all-stock transaction. Upon closing, FFR aims to become the leading U.S.-listed company focused on "Four-Core Full-Stack AI" humanoid and bionic EAI robotics.
