At the Consumer Electronics Show (CES) 2025, which began on January 7, the company specializing in humanoid robots Realbotix surprised attendees by presenting Melody , an open-source robot that promises to transform interaction with artificial intelligence . Designed for adaptability and customization, this “almost human” offers features that enhance the user experience and its versatility for different industries.
Melody’s abilities
Melody integrates Dynamixel P-series servomotors , which give it fluid and natural movements, similar to those of humans. This not only improves its mobility, but also makes it easy to transport thanks to a modular design that allows it to be disassembled and packed in a suitcase, ideal for those who need to move it between locations.
Its functionality includes advanced vision systems and eye tracking . With microcameras embedded in its eyes, it can maintain eye contact, track objects, and process images in real time. These capabilities, demonstrated at CES 2025, highlight the company’s focus on more human and meaningful interactions.
Adaptable and easy to maintain
Melody’s modular design makes it easy to maintain and allows users to customize its components and adapt it to various needs. Its open source nature makes it an ideal platform to integrate with multiple AI systems, such as ChatGPT , which expands its applicability in sectors such as education, entertainment, and healthcare.
According to Andrew Kiguel, CEO of Realbotix, Melody was created with flexibility and portability in mind , allowing for personalized interactions and accessible hardware for different uses.
With customization capabilities and technology that redefines the standards of robotics, Melody is positioned as a solution for industries that demand more humanized interaction. From research to healthcare, this robot offers a new vision of how humanoids can be integrated into our daily lives.
