LAS VEGAS, January 07, 2025--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Realbotix Corp. (TSX-V: XBOT) (Frankfurt Stock Exchange: 76M0.F) (OTC: XBOTF) ("Realbotix" or the "Company"), a leading creator of humanoid robots and companionship-based AI, unveiled its latest humanoid robot, Melody, at the 2025 Consumer Electronics Show ("CES"). Melody is an open-source robot designed with upgraded features to improve functionality, adaptability, and user experience. By incorporating advanced motor technology, Melody enhances movement fluidity, modularity, and interaction, making her a versatile option for a variety of applications.

Melody is powered by upgraded P-Series servo motors from Dynamixel, which deliver smoother, more fluid, and humanlike movements, providing a more natural range of motion. She is also designed to disassemble easily, simplifying travel and allowing her to be packed into suitcases for air travel between locations.

Key Features of Melody:

  • Eye Tracking and Object Recognition: Equipped with advanced vision systems and micro-cameras embedded in her eyes, Melody can track movement, maintain eye contact, and identify objects, enabling more meaningful interactions. This functionality is demonstrated at CES, where visitors can make eye contact with Melody and view their image on a remote monitor displaying what Melody is seeing and processing.

  • Interchangeable Modular Body Parts: Melody’s design incorporates Realbotix’s patented modular system, which supports customization and maintenance by enabling users to replace body components as needed. This enhances flexibility and longevity, allowing the Melody platform to transform into different characters while using the same robotic base.

  • Advanced Body Mobility: Melody’s enhanced range of motion allows for more humanlike physical gestures and movements, enabling her to interact in ways that feel lifelike. This is achieved through the integration of smaller servo motors with improved operability.

  • Open-Source Operability: Melody is built on an open-source platform that allows integration with Realbotix’s proprietary companionship AI platform or third-party AI platforms, such as ChatGPT. This creates additional versatility for Realbotix hardware, enabling compatibility with thousands of AI platforms being developed globally.

"Melody was created with the intention of having robots that are easy to travel with and modify for various forms of personal interaction," said Andrew Kiguel, CEO of Realbotix. "Her modular design and advanced features provide a practical and accessible platform for diverse applications. In addition, the hardware is open-source, allowing our robots to interact with various AI platforms when required."
