CES 2026: Lovense debuts AI companion robot with focus on connections

At CES 2026, Singapore-based Lovense unveiled Emily, an AI-powered companion doll designed to go beyond traditional life-size sex dolls by combining a realistic silicone humanoid body with proprietary AI that delivers human-like cognition, emotional awareness, and expressive behavior. Emily features a posable skeleton, limited facial animations such as blinking and mouth movement, and Bluetooth connectivity that integrates with Lovense’s broader ecosystem of devices. The AI is capable of remembering past interactions, adapting its personality over time, and enabling users to engage remotely via the Lovense app, including messaging and receiving AI-generated selfies. Lovense positions Emily primarily as a long-term companion aimed at addressing modern loneliness and fostering deeper emotional connections through personalized, judgment-free interaction. The company emphasizes the AI’s evolving relationship-driven nature and the product’s role in helping users build confidence and explore intimacy safely. Pricing is expected between $4,000 and $8,000, with shipments planned for 2027 and a $200 reservation fee to join the wait
