Quadruped Robots

What we do with these systems

01

Distribute Faraday Future humanoid robots nationwide

02

Build the secondary development a specific site needs

03

Install on site and connect to how your team already works

04

Train the operators who will run it, before we leave

Two families, four systems

Our quadruped lineup splits cleanly. The FX Navi is a compact 8 kg platform built to be carried into a classroom and programmed. The FX Aegis series is a heavier 15 to 16 kg chassis that comes in three configurations, from a display unit through a development platform to an industrial one.

Every model in the lineup is operated. Autonomous navigation is listed by the manufacturer as a future capability on the models that will have it, so today a person runs the route. That is worth knowing before anything else, because it is the assumption buyers make most often and it is not yet true.

Teaching legged robotics

Balance, gait, and perception stop being diagrams when something has to stay upright while it walks. Open SDKs and expansion ports make the robot the coursework rather than the demonstration.

Carrying sensors on a route

An operator walks a fixed route and the robot carries what needs to see it. Cameras, radar, depth, and positioning modules mount to the payload and expansion ports.

Ground a cart cannot cross

Grades to 40 degrees, thresholds, and obstacle clearance to 35 cm on the industrial model. Legs earn their cost on grade and uneven ground, not on flat floor.

Display and activation

Preloaded dynamic motions that run in front of a crowd on day one, for open houses, recruiting events, and brand activations where the robot is why people stopped.

A quadruped is not a replacement for supervision. It runs a defined route under the oversight of your staff. Anything that requires judgment, escalation, or a decision about a person still belongs to a person.

Quadruped systems we distribute

We distribute the Faraday Future Aegis and Navi series.

Aegis Pro Main

Faraday Future

Aegis Pro

The display unit. A 15 kg quadruped with an 8 kg payload and speeds to 3.7 m/s, arriving with a library of dynamic motions already loaded. Backflips, bipedal standing, forward jumps, and handshakes work out of the box, and a 4K wide-angle camera streams live. The remote controller and one customized costume are included.

Built for display, brand activations, and interactive entertainment. Development tooling for this model is not released yet, so it operates and demonstrates rather than being programmed.

Aegis Ultra Main scaled

Faraday Future

Aegis Ultra

The industrial platform. A 16 kg quadruped carrying up to 10 kg at speeds to 5 m/s, with slope capability of 30 to 40 degrees and the only IP54 rating in the series for semi-outdoor and industrial settings. Ethernet, two USB ports, SBUS, and UART support 3D radar, depth cameras, RTK, and 4G modules. Development runs on a full SDK with standardized APIs, Python, and Isaac Sim.

Built for security, inspection, research, and AI development. Perception modules are supported rather than supplied, so budget for the sensors alongside the platform.

Aegis Edu MAIN updated

Faraday Future

Aegis Edu

The development platform. The same body as the Aegis Pro with the ecosystem unlocked: SDK access, standardized APIs, Python development, and Isaac Sim simulation support. Ethernet, USB, SBUS, and UART expansion ports carry external sensors and peripherals. A visual programming platform and the Openclaw no-code tool sit on top, so a first-year student and a research team can work on the same robot at different depths.

Built for education labs, university research, and developers building on quadruped robotics. Rated IP32, so indoors.

Navi Main scaled

Faraday Future

Navi

The classroom platform. At roughly 8 kg with 12 degrees of freedom, the FX Navi is light enough for one person to carry between rooms. The low-level interface is open and a Python SDK is included, with motion control, perception, and hardware expansion APIs available for secondary development. Four back-bolt mounting points with 5 V and 12 V power let a program add the sensors its curriculum calls for.

Built for education, research, and embodied AI development on indoor flat ground. Perception runs through a paired smartphone rather than onboard cameras.

Get the specification sheet

Send us the task and the site and we will send you the specification sheet for the system that fits it, along with the manufacturer’s certification documentation.

Sales Inquiry

What to compare before you buy a quadruped robot

Most specification sheets list the same figures. These are the ones that decide whether a system works on your route, and the question each one is really answering.

SpecificationWhat it tells youAsk this
Stair climb heightThe riser height the system can take continuously, flight after flight. Different from obstacle clearance.Measure your risers. If they are above the published figure, stairs are out.
Obstacle clearanceThe height of a single object the system can step over.Does this describe one threshold, or are you assuming it means stairs?
IP ratingProtection against dust and water. IP32 is indoors. IP54 covers limited dust and splashing.Does any part of the route leave a dry, covered space?
PayloadHow much sensor and mounting hardware the system can carry.Add up the weight of every module you intend to mount, plus the bracket.
Runtime and chargingHow long the system runs before it charges, and how long charging takes.How long is your route, and does one battery cover it with margin?
Onboard perceptionWhat the system senses with as shipped, versus what you add.Is the camera on the robot, or does it come from a phone you supply?
AutonomyWhether the system is operated or navigates on its own.Is autonomous navigation shipping today, or listed as a future update?
Expansion portsThe physical and data interfaces available for sensors and peripherals.Will the module you want actually connect, and who wires it?
Development accessWhether an SDK and APIs are available, and whether simulation is supported.Will anyone on your team write code against this, now or in two years?
Certification statusFCC certification and Covered List status, which procurement language usually tests for.Ask for current documentation, since certification status changes.
Support and partsWho services the system, how parts are sourced, and how long repairs take.Who answers the phone in year two, and where are they located?

Every figure on a specification sheet is measured under defined test conditions. Runtime, payload, and speed all change with terrain, temperature, load, and duty cycle. Treat published numbers as a ceiling for comparison, not a promise about your building. We attribute every specification we publish to the manufacturer who measured it.

Where quadruped systems are going in

Each market has its own procurement cycle, its own rules, and its own definition of a good shift.

Education

Robotics programs, CTE pathways, and university labs where the point is what students build on the platform. Teacher training and budget cycle timing matter more than top speed.

Security and corrections

Operated route coverage carrying video and sensors. The industrial model is the only one specified for this work, and autonomous patrol is a future capability rather than a current one.

Events and activation

Open houses, recruiting, trade shows, and public programs. Preloaded motions run in front of a crowd without setup or code.

If you are evaluating this for an agency or a facility

Faraday Future names security and inspection as intended uses for the industrial model, so it is worth being plain about what that does and does not mean today.

The unit is operated. Autonomous navigation and patrol are listed as future over-the-air capabilities and are not available at purchase. An operator runs the route, and the camera streams what it sees.

What the unit carries is what makes it useful. A route survey needs different modules than a thermal check or a perimeter walk, and those modules are separate purchases with separate integration work.

We will not tell you a deployment prevents incidents, protects officers, or reduces risk. We do not know that, nobody does, and a vendor who says otherwise is selling you something they cannot deliver.

What we will do is describe what the system can do, under what conditions, and tell you plainly when your route is outside them. Stairs are the most common one.

A robot does not arrive ready to work

01

Scoping

You describe the route and the conditions. We say what a unit can do on it, and what it cannot.

02

Configuration

We specify and mount the sensors the route calls for, and build the secondary development your site needs.

03

On-site integration

We install in person, connect the system to your network and workflow, and test on the actual route.

04

Operator training

Your people run the system before we leave, and we stay reachable after that.

What your purchasing office will ask for

Public sector buyers rarely get to buy on the strength of a demonstration. The paperwork decides it. We supply the manufacturer documentation your process needs, including specification sheets, certification records, and warranty terms, and we will tell you plainly when a document is not available yet rather than letting you find out during review.

On a quadruped, budget for the sensors as well as the robot. On an inspection or survey deployment the modules can approach or exceed the price of the platform, and none of them are included.

If your process requires a vendor legal name, purchase orders are placed with Stokes Family Holdings, LLC, doing business as MOSO Robotics.

Common questions about quadruped robots

Ask us something else
What is a quadruped robot?

A quadruped robot is a four-legged system that walks rather than rolls. Legs let it handle thresholds, grades, and uneven ground that stop a wheeled unit. Most are built as carrying platforms: the robot moves, and the cameras or sensors mounted on it do the work.

Can a quadruped robot climb stairs?

It depends on the riser height, and the answer is often no. Every FX Aegis model is specified at 16 cm continuous stair climb. A typical US commercial stair riser is 17 to 18 cm and residential can approach 20 cm, so standard stairs are outside that figure. Obstacle clearance of 35 cm is a separate specification describing a single object, not a flight of stairs. Measure your risers before assuming.

Do quadruped robots navigate on their own?

Not on the systems we distribute today. Autonomous navigation and environmental scanning are listed by Faraday Future as future over-the-air capabilities on the models that will have them. Right now an operator runs the route using a controller or an app. Ask for a release timeline in writing before scoping a project around autonomy.

Can a quadruped robot go outside?

Only one of ours is rated for it, and only partly. The industrial model is IP54, which covers limited dust ingress and splashing water and is described by the manufacturer as semi-outdoor. It does not cover immersion, pressure washing, or sustained heavy rain. The other models are IP32 or unpublished, which means indoors.

What can a quadruped robot carry?

Between 8 and 10 kg on our Aegis models, and a lighter unpublished figure on the FX Navi. That payload is for sensors, cameras, and mounting hardware rather than cargo. Add up the weight of every module you plan to mount, including brackets and cabling, before you pick a model.

What is the difference between a quadruped and a humanoid robot?

A quadruped has four legs, is more stable on rough ground and grades, and is generally used to carry sensors and cameras along a route. A humanoid is bipedal and built for tasks that involve interacting with people in a building. The task decides which one fits, not the appearance. See humanoid robots.

Do you manufacture these robots?

No. We are a nationwide distributor for Faraday Future, and we are the secondary developer and integrator for the systems we sell. We do not build the hardware, and every performance specification we publish is attributed to the manufacturer who measured it.

Who operates the robot once it is installed?

Your people do. Operator training is part of every deployment, and your team runs the system before we leave the site. We stay reachable after that for support questions and for changes to the route as your needs shift.

Describe the task and the space. We will tell you what fits, and we will tell you if nothing does.
