While there were many technological advancements at CES 2025, one robot caught people’s attention for its ambition and controversy. The American robotics startup Realbotix unveiled Aria, a humanoid artificial intelligence robot designed for “companionship and intimacy.”

Aria is part of Realbotix’s lineup of robots designed to address loneliness and provide emotional connection. It is available in three versions: a $12,000 bust, a $150,000 modular version and a $175,000 full-body model.

Don’t Miss:

The $150,000 version stands out because it can apparently be taken apart and packed up, making it easy to move around.

Realbotix has focused on making Aria appear as lifelike as possible. In fact, the company’s goal is to “create robots that are indistinguishable from humans.” As Forbes reports, the robot has 17 motors in its face, enabling basic eye and mouth movements to replicate human expressions. It also uses AI to have conversations, though its responses can sometimes be slow and its movements a bit stiff, showing the limits of today’s technology.

Aria’s appearance is also customizable. It can be made as male or female and users can swap out its face, hair and even its personality. RFID technology is being developed by Realbotix so that the robot can identify various faces and modify its behavior accordingly. These features allow for a degree of personalization that sets it apart from standard AI devices.
