Are you living alone in Texas? Are you looking for companionship in the Lone Star State? Do you have $175,000, and is it okay if your soulmate doesn't have a soul? If you answered yes to all of those questions, then Realbotix has the robot that was made just for you. Aria is the flagship AI robot that is trying to evolve the relationships between humans and machines.

What are Realbotix?

The robots that Realbotix manufactures are designed for several different types of roles such as sales reps to personal companions. The product that seems to be getting the most attention, though, is Aria. Aria is a humanoid robot that stands on a circular base, and she is meant to be your conversational and perhaps even your emotional companion.

Aria is not a sex toy.

It is capable of having conversations of a more intimate nature, aka dirty talk, because of its use of AI, but the true purpose is to enhance an emotional connection. The robots are equipped with hidden cameras that help with visual recognition that allow Aria to identify faces and objects. If you were eating an apple in front of it, then it might even ask how the apple tastes.

Is It Real Enough?

As far as realism is concerned there is still quite a bit of uncanny valley left. Kiquel says that "We think we have the most realistic robots in the world in terms of appearance", and that may be true, but it's still just off enough that it makes you feel a little uncomfortable.

Should you buy it?

Whether Aria represents the future of companionship or the pinnacle of creepy tech depends on your perspective and your wallet. Right now, it honestly feels more like a very expensive conversation piece as opposed to a partner that you would share all of your thoughts and emotions with.
