FF EAI Robotics Ecosystem Inc. (Nasdaq ticker: FFR, hereinafter referred to as “FFR” or “the Company”) today highlighted the participation of its FF EAI Robotics business (hereinafter referred to as “Robotics Business”) in the 2026 IROS conference. The conference was held from September 28th to 30th, 2026, in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. FFR had previously signed a non-binding term sheet intending to acquire the Robotics Business from Faraday Future Intelligent Electric Inc. (Nasdaq ticker: FFAI, hereinafter referred to as “FFAI”) for a valuation of approximately $200 million.
IROS is one of the largest and most influential robotics research conferences in the world. Pittsburgh is widely regarded as a "leader in robotics research" and is also at the forefront of robotics innovation, gathering a large number of robotics companies, research institutions, universities, and industry resources.
During the event, FF showcased a variety of EAI robot products and launched the “Built in USA” acceleration program. Through product demonstrations, hands-on experiences, and interactions, they engaged with guests and partners from the fields of robotics, artificial intelligence, scientific research, and industry applications around the world. The All - New Futurist received particular attention as it boasts mobile operation capabilities and flexible task execution, and has the potential to be applied in multiple scenarios.
In terms of EAI Brain and the developer platform, developers have engaged in active discussions with the company regarding robot capability development, application scenarios, and co-creation of the ecosystem. Meanwhile, FF is also actively recruiting internal development partners.
Through EAI Data Factory, FF also discussed with potential data partners the collection of real-world data, data collaboration, and the role of data in continuously enhancing the capabilities of the EAI robots.
The company also exchanged ideas with industry professionals regarding its four industry productivity solutions, which cover a range of applications across various sectors. These research solutions have attracted the interest of several leading research institutions and universities. Participants had in-depth discussions with FF about robotics research, educational and teaching applications, as well as potential opportunities for further collaboration.
In addition to product and ecosystem interactions, FF is also promoting talent recruitment during the IROS 2026 period, seeking professionals in robot development, artificial intelligence, data, and industry solutions.
FF indicates that participating in IROS 2026 is an important step in advancing the EAI robotics business, expanding the company's global industry ecosystem, and accelerating the implementation of the “Built in USA” strategy.
FF, the founder and Global CEO, YT Jia, stated: "Participating in IROS 2026 gives us the opportunity to directly communicate with guests, developers, industry partners, universities, and research institutions from all over the field in Pittsburgh, a city at the forefront of robotics innovation. We will continue to recruit internal development partners to strengthen our talent base, accelerate the implementation of the ‘Built in USA’ strategy, and bring EAI robots into more real-world industry applications."
Earlier this week, the company announced that FFAI and FFR (formerly known as AIxCrypto Holdings and Inc) have signed a non-binding term sheet for FFR to acquire the robotics assets and business of FFAI for an estimated value of $200 million. The proposed transaction aims to facilitate the robotics business's path towards independent listing.
