Realbotix Demos Unscripted On-Device Conversation Between Two Humanoid Robots at CES 2026

The company says a multilingual exchange ran for more than two hours using proprietary embedded models.

Overview

  • Realbotix's humanoids Aria and David engaged in a live, unscripted dialogue without human intervention or teleoperation, according to the company.
  • The robots switched among English, Spanish, French, and German while responding to each other in real time.
  • Realbotix says its AI software and language models ran fully on the robots rather than relying on cloud processing.
  • A separate demonstration showed a third robot using a patented eye-based vision system to recognize individuals, interpret vocal and facial cues for emotional context, and track people during conversation.
  • Interesting Engineering reported noticeable pauses and mechanical delivery during the exchange, and the claim that this is among the first such public demos remains company-reported in the available coverage.
