English translation from Unibot. Source published 2026-10-28.
Canadian company Realbotix presented its Echo humanoid robots. Prices start from $11,950, deliveries are promised in the second half of 2027.
What's included in the line
The “companion” line consists of a desktop model and a full-size version for $59,950. Features include silicone skin, facial expressions and integration with conversational AI platforms.
These are robots for communication, and not universal assistants: the stated 39 degrees of freedom in the full-size model are responsible for the movement of the upper body, and not for full-fledged human motor skills.
Desktop version of Echo Tabletop
The 32-inch tall Echo Tabletop weighs about 25 pounds and has 17 degrees of freedom. The face and neck are covered with synthetic silicone skin.
Realbotix promotes it for individual training in education, therapy and personal wellness - however, these are more likely stated scenarios than confirmed implementation results.
Full-size Echo Full Body
The Echo Full Body measures 72 inches in the female configuration and 77 inches in the male configuration. Both versions are 28 inches wide and deep and weigh about 88 pounds.
The manufacturer talks about smooth movements of the upper part of the body; the large number of joints should not be read as a promise of free human mobility. Both configurations have facial expressions and speakers in the chest for voice communication.
Subscription and booking
A mandatory monthly subscription to software is added to the price of hardware. So purchasing is only part of the cost of ownership.
First batch and timing
The first batch is 250 machines: 225 desktop and 25 full-size. Deliveries - in the second half of 2027.
