The game has six different E.M.M.I. later on; excluding the tutorial, the count is six.
Why are some counts six and others seven?
The two numbers use different counting conventions. Nintendo Wire’s gameplay guide distinguishes six different E.M.M.I. encountered later in the game from a seventh E.M.M.I. in a sort-of tutorial near the beginning. Count that introductory encounter and the total is seven; leave it out and the count is six.

What are the E.M.M.I.?
Nintendo describes an E.M.M.I. as “An Extraplanetary Multiform Mobile Identifier—or E.M.M.I.—is a highly agile research robot equipped with the ability to extract DNA.” The Galactic Federation sent them to ZDR to investigate whether the X parasite was present. After the machines go dark, they identify Samus as their target. Nintendo’s June 30, 2021 report introduces the robots and their role in the story.
How do E.M.M.I. encounters work?
E.M.M.I. patrol designated E.M.M.I. Zones, which are separated from other areas by Zone Doors. Once an E.M.M.I. detects Samus, it pursues her. Nintendo says the Omega Cannon is the weapon capable of destroying one; its Metroid Dread game page describes the cannon as the only weapon capable of destroying an E.M.M.I. robot.

What does Nintendo say about the number?
Nintendo’s June 2021 report asks how many E.M.M.I. there are and includes an illustration showing seven shadows behind Samus. That is a visual clue, not an explicit statement of the final gameplay encounter count in the report’s prose. The six-versus-seven gameplay distinction comes from Nintendo Wire’s guide.
