  1. Faraday Future launches $2,490 FF Nova humanoid robot for developers and schools

    On 15 October, Faraday Future and FF EAI Robotics Ecosystem (FFR) launched the $2,490 FF Nova humanoid robot for developers, universities and schools, alongside the $299 FF Nova Mini for children aged eight and up. The companies call Nova the first embodied AI humanoid sold in the US for under $2,500, a claim The Next Web said it had not independently verified; according to its product page, the robot has 20 degrees of freedom, stands 49.7cm tall and weighs 2.8kg, supports ROS 2, can walk, wave and get back up after being knocked over, and can ride a detachable wheeled base, with a developer software package costing $390 and a training programme built on Nvidia's Isaac platform. The first 100 Nova units are invitation-only with 20 ready to ship now, and the launch follows FFR's agreement to buy FF's robotics business in an all-stock deal valued at about $200M, with FF expected to own about 65.7% of FFR after closing.

  2. Jia Yueting says FFR to merge FFAI robotics business, eyes standalone US listing

    Jia Yueting said in an October 14 video that FFR and FFAI have signed a definitive agreement for FFR to absorb FFAI's robotics assets and business in an all-stock deal at $2.246 per share, roughly a 55% premium to the prior day and an implied valuation of about $200 million; FFR's pre-closing fully diluted equity value is put at about $60 million, and the parties expect to close by the end of this month. The transaction was approved by a special committee of disinterested independent directors and supported by a fairness opinion from its independent financial adviser; FFR also signed a first PIPE round of up to $10 million, described as at market price with no discount and no warrants. The company says FFR will carry almost no debt after closing, aims to stay in the top three of the EAI robotics industry within five years, targets positive operating cash flow by Q3 2028, and expects to need no more than $150 million in cumulative funding before then; it claims 817 units of EAI robot bodies sold and shipped with positive gross margin as of the end of September.
