High-end industrial humanoid robot with full-body mobility, multimodal perception, high-compute AI capabilities and expandable skill architecture. Built around NVIDIA Jetson Thor for up to 700 TOPS, with 51 active degrees of freedom (expandable to 71 with advanced dexterous hands), and a 1,152 Wh dual-battery system supporting roughly eight hours of work with rapid pack swaps. Part of a lineup of five new robots ranging from $9,990 compact humanoids to $137,900 industrial wheeled-legged quadrupeds.

China is making a big bet on humanoid robots, with dexterous hands as its focus. It’s a key to building a stronger manufacturing base while addressing a slowly shrinking workforce. (Source: Bloomberg)
Faraday Future is promoting a U.S. robotics manufacturing push targeting a factory opening by end of 2026 and first production robot in February 2027, with a planned capacity of 50,000 robots annually within five years. However, the company's current robot catalog appears to be white-labeled hardware from other manufacturers—its Master Mini documentation explicitly names Booster components and matches the K1's specs, while the All-New Futurist's specifications match AGIBOT's A3. A proposed $200 million transfer of FF's robotics business to FF EAI Robotics Ecosystem Inc. remains a non-binding deal subject to financing risks.
South Korea announced plans to launch a major robot-AI research program in 2027, combining AI developers, data providers, robot makers, and industrial users to develop robot foundation models and world models. The initiative, led by the Ministry of Science and ICT, will use early trials in postal and logistics services to generate operational data for training, with a planned physical-data library to support the effort. Officials warned of a three-year competitive window to establish an advantage, while emphasizing that the project budget remains unfinalized.
