Realbotix renamed its Echo humanoid line Realbotix Series 1 on November 4. The company says the change avoids trademark concerns. The two models are still available to reserve for 2027 delivery: a $11,950 tabletop version and a $59,950 full-body version.

What the two models do

The tabletop robot is 32 inches tall and weighs about 25 pounds. The full-body model adds upper-body movement, including arms and hands. Both come in four characters: Aria, Mila, Dave and Amar. The company lists a required software subscription starting at $19.99 a month. Its Vinci vision system is an optional upgrade.

The tabletop version is the one I’d watch. If the job is greeting visitors or answering questions at a desk, the smaller model gives a buyer a way to try the interaction without paying for the full body. Realbotix plans to show Series 1 at the Humanoid Summit in December and at CES in January. See our Realbotix company profile and full-body Series 1 database entry. Its product page has details on both versions.
