Overview
A life-size humanoid with silicone skin and a face with 14+ moving points, built in Las Vegas for reception desks, events, elder care, classrooms and companionship. Aria headlined CES 2025 alongside Melody, a modular version driven by Dynamixel P-Series servos that comes apart to fit in suitcases, and the male model David joined at CES 2026, where Aria and David held a two-hour unscripted, on-device conversation in four languages. It moves its head, face, eyes and arms but does not walk. The parent company also owns the consumer business Intima LLC, which holds 86% of RealDoll, and Realbotix states that its robotics unit shares no staff, products or technology with RealDoll. The catch is availability, since per-configuration prices have been removed from the product site in favor of the upcoming Echo line.
