Overview
Faraday Future's full-size humanoid for reception desks, guided tours, events and research labs, sold from its US store. Its size, 31 DOF, 1152 Wh dual battery, dual RK3588 boards and body styling match the AgiBot A3, so it appears to be a rebadged A3 (unconfirmed). It replaced the first Futurist, which appeared to be a rebadged AgiBot A2 (unconfirmed). It suits US buyers who want a domestic seller, a skills package and NVIDIA SONIC motion support. The catch is the price, about $17,750 above RobotShop's A3 listing (estimate), and FF's SDK offers no joint-level control.

Prices and specs come from Faraday Future's store (October 2026). Skills Package values come from FF's September 19, 2026 launch release. That release also gives 51 DOF rising to 71 with a hand upgrade and about 8 hours of operation, which do not match the store's figures. FF's product page highlights 200 TOPS and 69 kg, which match neither store version and may describe the earlier Futurist (unconfirmed). FF store ↗ · Faraday Future ↗ · Launch release ↗
Price and shipping
The first Futurist launched at the NADA Show on February 4, 2026, from $34,990 plus a $5,000 skill package. FF showed the All-New version on June 16, 2026 and priced it at $89,900 at Automate on June 23. The Ultra price followed on September 19, 2026. FF has not explained the price jump, but the All-New model is a different, lighter robot. Its specs match the AgiBot A3, which RobotShop lists at $72,149, so it appears to be a rebadged A3 (unconfirmed). FF's own image files for it are named "FF-Futurist (A3)". FF's filings say it relies on Chinese OEMs for all its robots and on a single OEM for most of them.
Shipping: Not published. Both versions orderable from Faraday Future's US online store (October 2026). FF said on September 19, 2026 that all its robots were available for sale and delivery, also through Amazon and RobotShop. Its shipping policy gives no delivery times. FF does not say whether units are imported or assembled in the US. FF store ↗

| Availability | Available |
| Programmability | Limited SDK |
| Built-in autonomy | Navigates · Goes to places on its own, such as mapped rooms, waypoints or its charging dock |
| LLM support | Built-in LLM chat · Faraday Future says a VLA model with a world model serves as the robot's brain, with proactive multimodal interaction. It recognizes visitors, answers questions and leads the way by voice, screen and gesture. The models used are not named. FF All-New Futurist store page ↗ |
| MuJoCo simulation | Official model · FF's SDK has a MuJoCo backend (mujoco://futurist), but its model is the earlier Futurist (internal code a2) and comes only with a developer account. If the robot is a rebadged AgiBot A3 (unconfirmed), AgiBot's public A3 and A3 Ultra MJCF models apply. A3-A3U-robot-model ↗ |
| NVIDIA Isaac simulation | Sim-to-real kit · FF says the robot natively supports NVIDIA SONIC whole-body control. AgiBot's sonic_for_a3 adapts SONIC training to the A3, with MuJoCo sim2sim and RK3588 deploy files. It would apply if the hardware is an A3 (unconfirmed). sonic_for_a3 ↗ |
| Gazebo simulation | Maker URDF only · No FF package. AgiBot's public A3 URDFs would apply if the hardware is an A3 (unconfirmed). A3-A3U-robot-model ↗ |

| Balance | Learned whole-body control that FF says natively supports NVIDIA's SONIC motion model. FF lists walking, running, dance and complex routines. The Ultra adds perceptive all-terrain walking and returns to its dock to charge. |
| SDK | FF SDK and API (Python ff_sdk, alpha, docs behind a developer account at api-docs.ff.com) with a MuJoCo backend, OTA updates and 4G/5G teleoperation. The SDK gives its humanoids no joint-level torque control, and its Futurist support targets the earlier model (unconfirmed for the All-New) |
