法拉第未来（Faraday Future）及其旗下FF EAI机器人生态系统（FF EAI Robotics Ecosystem）于10月15日推出两款人形机器人：面向开发者和学校的2490美元FF Nova，以及面向儿童的299美元FF Nova Mini。Nova的首批100台仅限受邀用户。此次发布紧随FFR同意以2亿美元全股票交易收购FF机器人业务的协议之后。
Faraday Future and FF EAI Robotics Ecosystem launched two humanoid robots on 15 October: the $2,490 FF Nova for developers and schools, and the $299 FF Nova Mini for children. Nova’s first 100 units are invitation-only. The launch follows FFR’s agreement to buy FF’s robotics business in a $200M all-stock deal.
法拉第未来及其姊妹公司FF EAI机器人生态系统（FFR）推出了两款人形机器人：售价2490美元的FF Nova和售价299美元的FF Nova Mini。两家公司于10月15日在联合新闻稿中宣布了这一消息。
Faraday Future and its sister company, FF EAI Robotics Ecosystem (FFR), have launched two humanoid robots: the $2,490 FF Nova and the $299 FF Nova Mini. The companies announced the robots on 15 October in a joint press release.
两家公司称，Nova是美国售价低于2500美元的首款具身AI人形机器人。具身AI指的是能够控制物理身体的AI，例如机器人。TNW未能独立核实该说法。
The companies call Nova the first embodied AI humanoid robot sold in the US for under $2,500. Embodied AI means AI that controls a physical body, such as a robot. TNW has not independently verified the claim.
Nova面向开发者、大学和学校。公司表示，它拥有20个自由度（即可移动关节），能够行走、挥手，并在被推倒后自行站起。它还能骑行可拆卸的轮式底座。
Nova is aimed at developers, universities, and schools. It has 20 degrees of freedom, or moving joints, and can walk, wave, and get back up after being knocked over, the companies said. It can also ride a detachable wheeled base.
根据其产品页面，据Unite.AI报道，Nova身高49.7厘米，重量2.8公斤。开发者软件包额外收费390美元，Nova支持ROS 2，这是一种广泛使用的机器人软件框架。
The robot stands 49.7cm tall and weighs 2.8kg, according to its product page, as reported by Unite.AI. A developer software package costs an extra $390, and Nova supports ROS 2, a widely used robotics software framework.
公司还提供基于Nvidia Isaac平台的培训计划，使开发者能够在仿真环境中教授机器人技能，随后在Nova上进行测试。Nvidia一直在使用相同工具吸引人形机器人制造商。
The companies are also offering a training programme built on Nvidia’s Isaac platform, which lets developers teach robot skills in simulation before testing them on Nova. Nvidia has been courting humanoid robot makers with the same tools.
Nova将分三阶段推出。第一阶段仅限100台，面向受邀的开发者和学校，目前已有20台准备发货。更广泛的开发者销售和完整的消费者发布将随后进行，但未给出具体时间。
Nova will roll out in three phases. The first is limited to 100 units for invited developers and schools, with 20 ready to ship now. Wider developer sales and a full consumer launch will follow, though no dates were given.
Nova Mini专为八岁及以上儿童设计。其重量低于1公斤，能够行走、自行站立并完成前滚翻，支持基于积木的编程。FF还提供一套售价499美元的16节直播在线课程，购买者可获得用于抵扣机器人价格的代金券。
Nova Mini is designed for children aged eight and up. It weighs under 1kg, can walk, stand up on its own, and do a forward roll, and it supports block-based programming. FF also sells a $499 course of 16 live online classes, and buyers get a voucher towards the robot.
FFR首席执行官杰瑞·王（Jerry Wang）表示：“FF Nova和FF Nova Mini的发布，标志着FFR在将具身智能（Physical AI）从实验室推向现实世界应用方面迈出了重要一步。”
“The launch of FF Nova and FF Nova Mini marks an important step for FFR in bringing Physical AI from the laboratory to real-world applications,” said Jerry Wang, FFR’s chief executive.
此次发布几天前，FFR同意通过一项全股票交易收购FF的机器人业务，该交易对该业务的估值约为2亿美元。交易完成后，FF将持有FFR约65.7%的股份，两家公司预计交易将在10月底前完成。FFR在9月30日之前曾名为AIxCrypto Holdings。
The launch comes days after FFR agreed to buy FF’s robotics business in an all-stock deal valuing it at about $200M. FF would own about 65.7% of FFR after closing, which the companies expect by the end of October. FFR was known as AIxCrypto Holdings until 30 September.
据Investing.com报道，以电动汽车闻名的FF于今年早些时候开始向机器人领域转型。截至9月底，其机器人业务部门已出货817台。
FF, best known for its electric cars, started its robotics pivot earlier this year. Its robotics unit had shipped 817 units by the end of September, Investing.com reported.
