Rise of the Robots – Realbotix’s Key to Future Autonomy

Rise of the Robots – Realbotix’s (OTCQB: XBOTF) Key to Future Autonomy

Humans have long been fascinated by humanoid robots. Over the past 20 years many movies have featured humanoid robots from the Terminator to iRobot to Ghost in a Shell. The common theme was robots acting independently. There are no less than a dozen humanoid robot manufacturers and only, Realbotix (OTCQB: XBOTF) has demonstrated their robot could operate independently in public view. While most manufacturers focus on basic mobility and task execution, RealBotix has developed a humanoid that can interact with humans in their environment on their own. In order to do this the robot needs vision that is tied into the artificial intelligence. Even Tesla’s Optimus (humanoid robot) demonstrations have involved human control, often through teleoperation (remote operation via haptic suits or controllers). Autonomy represents the focal point of evolving robotic design but only XBOTF has a patented vision system which consists of a camera in the eye of a humanoid robot that is linked to Artificial Intelligence. For investors XBOTF represents the only pure play for AI Humanoid robots.

Looks Matter

RealBotix’s Aria stands out as the most visually appealing humanoid robot that doesn’t resemble a metallic cyborg. This is just one of the things that separates the Aria model from the highly publicized Optimus robot by Tesla. None of the robot makers are concerned with looks at this stage, and have chosen to focus on the functionality of the robots to perform tasks like walking, lifting, or dancing. XBOTF is light years ahead on developing the social and conversational aspects of robotic development. As robots evolve, autonomous human interaction will be essential—an area where RealBotix leads. It’s fair to call XBOTF a human interaction platform technology that could be utilized as an add on to all the existing robotic makers. When interacting with humans Aria looks at people using its patented vision technology. Aria can remember through its AI if it met you before and look into your eyes and can judge if you are happy or sad.

Key to Autonomy – Human Interaction

Autonomy is a big buzz word and it can be applied to – self-driving cars, drones that deliver packages, and all types of robots. Unless robots are allowed to operate on their own, there’s no force multiplier. Robots need to think and act by themselves if we want to see productivity gains. A robot remotely operated by humans is an electronic puppet, not a real robot.

“Autonomy is when robots have to operate on the fly as opposed to a human in the background telling it what to do.” Andrew Kiguel – CEO Robotix

In a world racing toward AI integration, Realbotix stands out as a pioneer in physical AI — lifelike humanoid robots designed for real-world interaction. While most AI companies focus on software, Realbotix builds robots that see, think, speak, and move like humans. With successful deployments across hospitality, retail, entertainment, and healthcare, Realbotix is not just imagining the future — it’s already living in it.

Humanized Facial Expressions and Mannerisms

If you are out in public, you don’t normally see people talking to vending machines unless of course, they are irritated because the machine gobbled the money and didn’t release the snack. All joking aside, people like talking to people and not inanimate objects. This concept of wanting human interaction is the driving force behind Realbotix. Realbotix’s robots are engineered around the human form, not industrial utility. They feature lifelike expressions, modular bodies, and vision-enabled systems capable of recognizing faces, emotions, and objects. This isn’t science fiction — it’s a commercially viable platform with real-world use cases.

From concierge services in Las Vegas to brand activations in Times Square, Realbotix robots have proven their ability to engage, inform, and delight in unscripted public environments. Their flagship robot, Aria, has appeared on Fox Business, CNN, and TikTok — racking up over 4 billion media impressions and becoming the first humanoid robot to host a podcast and appear in a Netflix comedy special.

Modular Customization

If you ever played with lego people then you understand the customization options at Realbotix. The modular design allows the customer to mix and match all components. If you want a male or a female, young or old, straight or curly hair, the options are endless. Add to this the modular design whereby the robot could technically fit in a suitcase. All the other humanoid robots are one solid piece and not meant to be assembled or disassembled. Another gating factor is battery life and Realbotix solved that problem with robots that can be plugged in and operate continuously versus the hours or minutes of the other humanoids. The AI powering the Aria robot can run on any Large Language Model (LLM) backbone making it one of the most customizable robots in existence. It’s also the only robot with perfect human proportions that can wear human clothes.

Realbotix offers three core robot models:

B-Series ($20K): Entry-level bust with 17 micro-motors and LLM integration.
M-Series ($95K): Full upper-body robot with 39 degrees of freedom.

F-Series ($125K): Mobile robot with 44 degrees of freedom and 4–8 hours battery life.

Each robot is supported by a proprietary controller app that enables third-party AI integration (ChatGPT, Gemini, Llama, DeepSeek), multilingual conversation, and real-time lip-syncing. The subscription model ($199/month) provides recurring revenue and ensures continuous software and hardware updates.

Commercial Availability

If you are in the market for a humanoid robot, get ready for the disclaimer not available for public sale. That’s the message you are going to get because all the humanoid robot makers EXCEPT Robotix are in the testing and demo mode.

“They [competitors] are really selling the fact that they will have robots in the future. A lot of them are teleoperated or remotely operated.” Andrew Kiguel – CEO Robotix

Realbotix is ready for orders and has always had a backlog and has been in continuous production for the past year.

Massive Market Opportunity

Analysts project explosive growth for humanoids:

Morgan Stanley: $5T global revenue, 1B units by 2050
Citi Group: $7T market with 1.19B humanoids in 25 years
Goldman Sachs: $38B by 2035, 1.4M units shipped annually
ARK Invest: $1T market by 2030 if scale is achieved

Realbotix targets high-value niches like companionship, healthcare, senior care, education, hospitality, and entertainment — where emotional intelligence and realism drive premium pricing and adoption. Autonomy and human interaction are dominant themes in the future of robotics and few competitors are at the caliber of Realbotix. They are the best in class.

Upcoming Catalysts

Return to CES 2026 (January) with expanded lineup, including next-gen vision tech and multiple robots
Ongoing sales discussions: Telecom partners, senior residences, schools, casinos, hotels, resorts
Potential collaborations with major AI platforms for hardware embodiment
Scaling activations and partnerships

Over the past year the company has compiled over 4 billion media impressions, over 1000 articles and videos. The catalyst was the CES show in Las Vegas. The company is planning on exhibiting again at CES in January 2026 unveiling their vision tracking technology. If history repeats this will be a bigger hit than last year and that translates into market awareness in building an investor base. In terms of upcoming sales announcements, they have a large telecom customer that they signed up with, they are in conversations with senior residences, schools, casinos, resorts, and hotels. There are also potential collaborations with some of the largest AI platforms that want XBOTF to build the hardware to demonstrate their AI capability.

Long Term Strategy

Ramp Sales & Marketing: 8–10 robot activations with strategic partners
Manufacturing Scale: 1,000+ units by 2027, 2,500+ by 2028
R&D: Enhanced arms/hands, avatar apps, advanced vision
Global Distribution and OEM partnerships: Achieve economies of scale
