Silicone skin that replicates pores and veins. Micro-expressions. Eye tracking. Conversational AI baked in.
Half-body version starts at ~$16k. Marketed for companionship, elderly care, and mental health support.
This is where AI meets physical presence. Not just chatbots anymore—actual synthetic humans walking into your living room.
Bullish on robotics infrastructure plays. The hardware layer is finally catching up to the software hype.
