Embodied AI refers to artificial intelligence systems capable of interacting with the environment through a physical body, representing a major leap from virtual digital space to real physical applications. Unlike traditional screen-based intelligence, embodied AI emphasizes integrated perception, decision-making, and execution capabilities, transforming humanoid robots and other hardware terminals into genuine AI Agent carriers. This concept is redefining the development trajectory of artificial intelligence, moving AI beyond screen assistants into real-world scenarios.
Faraday Future says its FF Nova humanoid will sell for under $2,500, with a $299 Nova Mini for classrooms, ahead of an October 26 Nasdaq investor day. We test the arithmetic behind the price, weigh the company’s delivery record and set out what buyers must demand in writing.
AgiBot shipped more humanoids than any company on earth in 2025 — over 5,100 units. At the 140th Canton Fair its Interstellar A2 moved real boxes while wheeled, quadruped and cleaning siblings shared one autonomy stack. We examine the hardware, the economics and the questions buyers asked.
Chery’s AiMOGA opens global pre-orders for Mobo, a MoAgent-powered home companion humanoid with 22 DOF and family memory — yet price, size, battery and shipping remain undisclosed.
Liang Zhujin holds bachelor’s and master’s degrees from Sun Yat-sen University and a Ph.D. from Tsinghua University.
When JAKA Robotics rolled the Kargo50 onto its CIIF booth on October 12, the pitch was “L4 comprehensive intelligence” and “batch production” at a leading auto-parts plant. What the brochure does not say is that the 250-kilogram machine lifts only five kilograms per arm, that the “L4” label has no independent certification, and that the headline deployment is almost certainly a single lighthouse line rather than a shrink-wrapped product.
Faraday Future will on Oct. 14 formally unveil FF Nova, a roughly 20-inch embodied-AI humanoid aimed at developers and schools — a deliberate bet to start at the cheap, forgiving bottom of the humanoid market rather than fight Tesla and Figure on factory floors.
Dianying’s E-EMAV is a tethered ducted-fan drone with a folding robotic arm designed to clean and inspect high-rise buildings, but contact wobble, a 150-meter tether ceiling, and unproven autonomy make it an expensive tool rather than a labor-replacing colleague.
It is reported that the co-founder and technical lead of the embodied AI startup SynapX will soon be leaving the company.
