Realbotix, a Las Vegas company that grew out of the RealDoll business, sells human-likeness social robots. At CES 2026 it showed busts from USD 20,000 and full-body robots from USD 95,000 (heise). On 2026-10-27 it launched the Echo line for pre-order: a tabletop model from USD 11,950 and a full-body version at USD 59,950, USD 199 reservation deposit, a mandatory monthly software subscription and deliveries in the second half of 2027, with an initial run of 250 units.

Our verdict

Among the few humanoid-looking robots with a public pre-order price, but a social-companion product with delayed delivery rather than a worker.
