Faraday Future — yes, the EV company — just got FCC certification for a four-legged AI robot. The FX Aegis is a quadruped built for security patrol and companionship, starting at $2,490. That’s consumer-grade pricing in a market where most quadrupeds cost $10K+.
The Hardware
48Nm peak joint torque. Clears 33cm obstacles, climbs 40-degree slopes, hits 8.2mph, carries 10kg. Wi-Fi and 5G onboard. The base is four legs, but there’s an optional four-wheel version. Modular expansion slots take LiDAR, depth cameras, robotic arms, fire extinguishers, and security-specific plugins. It ships with autonomous patrol and follow-me modes built in.
OpenClaw: The Developer Play
This is where it gets interesting for builders. Faraday Future integrated OpenClaw into the robot’s AI brain as the Agent layer. Through the OpenClaw platform, you program the robot using natural language — no code required. It auto-locates documentation and generates the code for you. The $1,000 ecosystem skill package unlocks the full dev version for building custom Agents and Skills. If you’re building autonomous robot workflows or factory automation systems, this is hardware worth watching.
FF shipped 20+ units in February, hit positive gross margins in Q1, and is targeting 1,000 units by December 2026.
