Realbotix has renamed its Echo humanoid robot line Realbotix Series 1, saying the change avoids potential trademark issues and brings the product under its corporate brand. The company’s November 4 announcement says existing specifications, pricing and manufacturing plans remain unchanged.
The update follows the Echo launch in October and does not introduce a new generation of hardware. Realbotix says the same characters and configurations will carry over, with no changes to existing orders or reservations as a result of the new name.
The company’s pricing page lists the tabletop version at $11,950 and the full-body model at $59,950. A $199 deposit reserves a unit, while a required AI subscription starts at $19.99 a month. The deposit is applied toward the hardware price, rather than covering the robot’s full cost.
Realbotix plans an initial 2027 batch of 225 tabletop robots and 25 full-body units, with deliveries expected to begin in the second half of that year. Those dates remain estimates, and the company currently lists availability for customers in the United States.
Series 1 targets conversation and social interaction, including companionship, education and wellness settings. Both configurations plug into a standard outlet. The distinction matters for buyers comparing humanoids: a humanlike appearance and articulated body do not by themselves establish untethered mobility or general-purpose physical task performance.
