Realbotix makes only 250 Echo robots in 2027

Realbotix will make only 250 Echo humanoid robots for 2027, the company announced on the 26th of October 2026. They are due in the second half of the year.

A humanoid robot is built to look like a person. The run splits into 225 Tabletop units and 25 Full Body units, reserved with a 199 dollar deposit.

What buyers get

The Tabletop model stands about 32 inches tall and costs 11,950 dollars. It has 17 degrees of freedom, meaning points that can move.

The Full Body model has 39 degrees of freedom and costs 59,950 dollars. Both have silicone skin and speak over 100 languages, Realbotix said.

They work with ChatGPT, Claude and Gemini. Chats and face data stay on the robot or a paired phone, the company said.

What it costs to run

Each robot needs a monthly AI plan, from 19.99 dollars for 10 hours up to 199 dollars, the pricing page shows. A camera add-on called Vinci costs 24,950 dollars more.

Half the price is due within 30 days of the invoice, and the rest before shipping. Chief executive Andrew Kiguel said: "We are creating companions that support, educate and care for people in meaningful ways."

Below we break down the numbers

If all 250 robots sell at list price, sales reach about 4.19 million dollars before plans and add-ons, by our arithmetic. A Full Body robot with Vinci costs 84,900 dollars.
