FF Nova Mini
AI ChatLast updated:
FF Nova Mini is the entry-level educational humanoid robot from Faraday Future and its sister company FF EAI Robotics, launched on October 15, 2026 alongside the larger FF Nova. It is a 34.9 cm, 0.94 kg bipedal robot with an aluminum-alloy frame and 17 servos: one in the head, three in each arm and five in each leg. It walks with a human-like gait, turns, stands back up on its own, keeps its balance and can even do a forward roll. More than 40 built-in voice commands and more than 50 preloaded moves and dances let children play without a screen, and they can teach it new moves by posing its limbs by hand or build behaviors with Brain Blocks visual coding and an AI coding tutor. It is designed for ages 8 and up in classrooms, after-school programs and homes, and is sold with an optional 16-session Physical AI Spark Program curriculum.

Frequently Asked Questions
Get answers to common questions about this robot
Q1. What is FF Nova Mini, and what problem is it designed to solve?
FF Nova Mini is a small walking humanoid robot from Faraday Future and its sister company FF EAI Robotics, made to teach children how robots and physical AI work.
Q2. What are the main capabilities and key features of FF Nova Mini?
It walks, turns, keeps its balance, stands back up after a fall and dances. Children control it by voice, teach it moves by posing its arms and legs, and program it with visual blocks in an app.
Q3. Who is FF Nova Mini built for, and which industries can benefit from it?
It is designed for children from about eight years old, for classrooms, after-school programs, robotics clubs and homes.
Q4. Is FF Nova Mini a commercial product or still a research prototype?
It is a commercial consumer and education product, sold with an optional step-by-step curriculum.
Q5. Is FF Nova Mini currently available for purchase, and when is it expected to ship?
It is on sale through the Faraday Future shop and the FF robotics website, with a low entry price and a separate price for the curriculum.
Q6. How does FF Nova Mini actually work in real-world environments?
Small motors in its joints move the head, arms and legs, and a built-in balance system keeps it upright while the app and voice commands trigger preloaded or custom moves.
Q7. When was FF Nova Mini announced or officially launched?
Faraday Future and FF EAI Robotics launched it in October 2026 together with the larger FF Nova developer robot.
Q8. How is FF Nova Mini different from other robots in the same category?
Unlike most humanoids, it is small enough for a backpack and is built around a complete learning path with live classes, rather than only selling the hardware.
Q9. Does FF Nova Mini require additional development or customization after purchase?
No special setup is described. The companies present starting with the built-in moves and then moving on to the curriculum and block coding.
Q10. What is the future roadmap or planned upgrades for FF Nova Mini?
The companies say the library of moves will keep growing with new features, and they run a curriculum program alongside the robot.
