Key Notes
- Echo Tabletop is priced at $11,950 and Echo Full Body at $59,950, with the first batch planned at 225 tabletop and 25 full-body units.
- Reservations require a $199 deposit and operation requires a separate monthly AI subscription starting at $19.99.
- Deliveries are expected in the second half of 2027 within the United States, while the company warns that some promotional visuals are illustrative renderings.
Realbotix has opened reservations for Echo, a conversational humanoid line priced from $11,950 for a tabletop model and $59,950 for a full-body version. The launch targets social interaction, education and related engagement settings, with first deliveries expected in the second half of 2027.
The October 26 launch was reiterated in an October 27 company filing. The initial production run is planned at 225 tabletop and 25 full-body units.
The Robot Price Is Only Part of the Cost
Realbotix’s pricing page lists a $199 reservation deposit applied toward the purchase price. Buyers are invoiced for 50% before production, with the balance and shipping due before delivery.
Echo also requires a monthly AI plan starting at $19.99. The optional Vinci Vision system costs another $24,950 and requires the $199-per-month Enterprise with Vision plan.
That separates the physical machine from the continuing service needed to operate it. A buyer comparing robots needs to account for both, rather than treating the advertised hardware price as the full cost of ownership.
Two Sizes, a Conversation-First Product
The product website lists 17 degrees of freedom for the tabletop model and 39 for the full-body version. Four character options are offered: Aria, Mila, Dave and Amar.
The emphasis is on speech, expression and configurable personality. That positions Echo differently from machines designed primarily to carry materials, clean a room or manipulate household objects.
RobotsBeat’s coverage of AiMOGA’s Mobo shows another approach to companion robotics. The useful comparison is which interactions a product supports, what it costs to run and when customers can actually receive it.
Reservations Precede Delivery
Realbotix currently limits the stated delivery offer to the United States. The company says delivery dates are estimates, and its deposit terms provide refunds if it cannot deliver; otherwise, the deposit is non-refundable.
The website also warns that some product visuals are AI-generated renderings and that final appearance or specifications may differ. The featured company image should therefore be read as product presentation, not evidence that the displayed lineup has already been delivered.
The launch adds a clearly priced option to the humanoid market. The next test is translating reservations into working products with dependable conversation, clear support arrangements and the promised delivery schedule.
