Live Poll

Would you ever buy a humanoid robot for your own home?

Realbotix, a Las Vegas company, opened pre-orders for its Echo humanoid robot line on its website after launching the line on October 26. A $199 deposit reserves a unit, with the Echo Tabletop priced at $11,950 and the Echo Full Body at $59,950. This is an announced commercial offering with pre-orders open, not yet a delivered product.

Why it matters

Taking deposits on humanoid robots with published prices moves the category from demonstration toward a purchasable consumer and business product. Much of the recent progress in humanoid robots has come from China, so Realbotix's Las Vegas launch puts a U.S. company's commercial terms on that trajectory.

The Echo Tabletop stands about 32 inches tall, weighs about 25 pounds and moves in 17 different ways, while the Echo Full Body stands 72 to 77 inches depending on version, weighs about 88 pounds and moves in 39 ways. These are manufacturer-stated specifications, and the source does not include benchmark or independent verification of the movement counts.

The players

Realbotix

A Las Vegas-based robotics company that has launched the Echo humanoid robot line with desktop and full-body models.

The details

Buyers reserve an Echo robot by paying a $199 deposit on Realbotix's website, and software access starts at $19.99 per month. Both Echo models are designed to talk in more than 100 languages and to answer in whichever language the person speaks to them. The source does not describe the underlying control hardware or software architecture.

Realbotix launched its Echo robot line on October 26, 2026.
Planned deliveries of Echo robots are scheduled for the second half of 2027.

The Tech Race

Much of the recent humanoid robot progress has come from China, and Realbotix's Echo line positions a Las Vegas company as a commercial entrant with published prices for both a desktop and a full-body model. The source does not name a specific competing product roadmap for direct comparison.

Buyers can reserve an Echo robot now with a $199 deposit, but the source places deliveries only in the second half of 2027 and does not confirm final availability. Prospective customers would also need to budget for the $19.99 monthly software subscription, starting price, on top of the purchase price of $11,950 or $59,950.

The takeaway

Watch whether Realbotix meets its planned second-half 2027 delivery window for the initial run of 250 Echo robots. Confirmed deliveries and independent performance results would show whether the published specifications hold up.
