Faraday Future unveils multi‑form robot ecosystem while Flexion Robotics demonstrates autonomous office humanoid

At Automate 2026 in Chicago, Faraday Future introduced its "Full‑Form FF EAI Robot World," a suite of six robot series across three form factors—humanoids, quadrupeds and mobile manipulators. The company highlighted a shared artificial‑intelligence brain that can operate across all bodies, emphasizing data‑driven learning and integration for use in education, research, and industry. Its flagship All‑New Futurist humanoid is priced at $89,900 and features 31 degrees of freedom, six‑hour battery life and NVIDIA motion‑control support.

Separately, Swiss startup Flexion Robotics showcased a humanoid robot performing an end‑to‑end office task: retrieving a parcel delivered to a mailroom, navigating stairs and an elevator, unpacking the contents and placing them on a shelf. The system combines simulation‑trained skill modules with a master AI model that interprets human‑video demonstrations, leveraging reinforcement learning for motor control. Analysts estimate the market for robot foundation models could reach $150 billion by 2036.
