SUMMARY:

 

David is Realbotix’s first male humanoid companion robot, unveiled at CES 2026.  

 

He is a fully modular, emotionally intelligent, AI‑driven humanoid designed for:

 

- companionship  

- customer‑facing roles  

- training & education  

- events & hospitality  

 

David features magnetically swappable faces, 39 degrees of freedom, advanced AI vision, and multilingual conversational AI powered by models like ChatGPT, Gemini, and Grok.  

 

He operates on a wheeled M‑Series/F‑Series base (not bipedal) for 24/7 reliability. 

 

EDITORIAL:

 

David represents Realbotix’s shift from hyper‑realistic female robots (Harmony, Aria) to a gender‑diverse humanoid lineup.  

 

His design emphasizes:

 

- emotional presence  

- customization  

- long‑form conversation  

- human‑like expressions  

 

At CES 2026, David and Aria made history by holding a fully autonomous, unscripted, multilingual conversation for over two hours, demonstrating Realbotix’s most advanced embedded AI to date. 

 

David is not a sex robot — Realbotix explicitly positions him as a PG‑rated social robot for homes, hotels, theme parks, and public venues.
