Life-size AI girlfriend for ₹1.5 crore? Meet Aria, the robot created for love and companionship
Realbotix unveiled Aria, an AI-powered robot marketed as a life-like companion. With its price set at ₹1.5 crore ($175,000), Aria is engineered to provide meaningful interactions and emotional support.
Andrew Kiguel, CEO of Realbotix, described the company’s mission to Forbes: “We’re taking it to a different level that nobody else is really doing. It can be like a romantic partner. It remembers who you are. It can act as a boyfriend or girlfriend. If you ever saw that movie Her, we’re trying to do that.”
The robot’s ability to mimic human expressions comes from its 17 motors, enabling realistic mouth and eye movements. Aria can also recognise and adapt to changes in its appearance, thanks to RFID tags embedded in its design.
Customisation at the Core
One standout feature of Aria is its modular design, which allows users to swap faces, hairstyles, and colours in seconds. This adaptability ensures the robot can reflect individual preferences. “You can actually remove the faces off our robots in under five seconds… The body parts are also modular, so we can actually pull them apart, put different faces on and create a whole new robotic character off the same chassis,” Kiguel explained.
Realbotix has developed three versions of Aria:
