What is Faraday Future FF Nova and FF Nova Mini humanoids?

Humanoid robotics is the field of building robots shaped like the human body, with a torso, head, two arms and two legs. Such robots are meant to work with tools and spaces made for people and alongside them, or to serve experiments such as studying how two-legged walking works. FF Nova is a small humanoid that its maker describes as an entry-level, mini-sized humanoid with embodied AI (AI that controls a physical body) and a "Physical AI lab in a backpack", aimed at developers and educators who want to train robot skills in simulation and then test them on a real body. FF Nova Mini is a separate robot that its maker describes as an education platform built around a bipedal humanoid, designed for children and teenagers, with a curriculum that moves from voice commands to block-based programming. Both were launched by FF EAI Robotics and Faraday Future (FF).
