On June 23, Faraday Future (FF) released the American robot at the Automate Robotics and Automation Exhibition in Chicago.China’s first industrial-grade wheel-arm robot series FF Faber, and disclosed the EAI robot industrial ecological strategy for the first time. With the debut of the wheel-arm robot series, FF has formed aA matrix of six series of robot products in three major forms: humanoid, quadrupedal and wheel-armed.
FF founder and global CEO Jia Yueting said that with the release of the Faber series, FF has completedThe product layout of "Full-form EAI Robot World".According to the plan, the company will build a robot ecosystem around EAI terminals, EAI data factories, EAI brains and open development platforms.
Currently, FF robot products include humanoid robots Futurist, Master, and Nova series, quadruped robots Aegis and Navi series, and the newly released Faber wheel-arm robot series.FF expects the shipment of robots to exceed 100 units in June, and the cumulative delivery volume from March to the end of June is expected to exceed the previously set target of 220 units.
At this conference, FF simultaneously launched a new generation of full-size humanoid robot Futurist. The product sells for $89,900 and includes a $10,000 Skills package. The new body is about 173 centimeters tall and weighs 55 kilograms. It has 31 degrees of freedom throughout the body. It is equipped with a 1152Wh dual battery system and has a battery life of 6 hours. An Ultra version equipped with Nvidia's Jetson Thor chip will also be launched within the year.
As the focus of this release,FF Faber becomes America’s first industrial-grade, salable-deliverable wheel-arm robot series. This series includes three products: Faber U, Faber T and Faber S, which are suitable for industrial loading and unloading, logistics transfer, inspection, sorting, retail, scientific research and teaching and other scenarios. Among them, Faber T has been used in fields such as power inspection, power industry and data centers, and can perform some high-risk operations; Faber S is equipped with an embodied intelligent data collection tool chain and is scheduled to debut at the ISTE Live 26 exhibition on June 30.
Jia Yueting said,In the future, the Faber series will further participate in the robot production process and promote the industrial application model of "robots producing robots".
In addition to the education ecology,Industrial ecology is positioned as the second core ecological direction by FF. The company stated that subsequent robot products will be gradually used in scenarios such as factory production assistance, warehousing logistics, park inspections, and equipment operation and maintenance. It plans to hold an industrial ecology conference in six months to announce more products and cooperation plans.
