Realbotix Launches Echo, a Silicone Companion From $11,950

Echo puts Realbotix's silicone faces on a robot that starts at $11,950, about a tenth of Aria's F-Series price, and the Tabletop can wear the same Aria character, one of four on offer. The trade-offs are clear on the spec sheet: neither trim walks, the Full Body's skin stops at the face, neck, forearms and hands, and the cheapest AI plan buys 10 hours of conversation a month. The first run is 225 Tabletop and 25 Full Body units, delivered in the US only, on dates Realbotix calls estimates.

The bigger question is the seller. Realbotix is selling Realbotix LLC, the subsidiary behind Echo, to Nasdaq-listed Onconetix. The February announcement expected a close before the end of Q3 2026; that target passed, and in August the company said it expected a fourth-quarter close. On October 27 Onconetix said it still "intends to file" the S-4 registration statement the deal needs. A $199 deposit is a small bet. The 50% build invoice that follows is not, and Realbotix's Echo pages don't mention the pending sale.
