The life-sized doll, called Emily, features a realistic silicone exterior, a fully poseable internal skeleton and limited facial movement, including mouth movement for more expressive interaction.
But Lovens says the doll’s hardware is only half the story. The real playground is the emotional program. What makes Emily different is not just what she can do, but what the AI system can remember.
The doll is able to carry on conversations, remember previous interactions, and adapt her personality to your liking over time. This means that Emily is not only responding, but accumulating.
How did CNET senior producer Jesse Orral meet all the sex robots at CES?
Emily connects to the Lovense app via Bluetooth, which allows users to interact with the AI even when they are not physically with the doll. Emily’s physical attributes and personality are customizable, and she can send AI-generated avatars on request, said CNET senior producer Jesse Orrall, who had the opportunity to speak to Lovense executives. (Orrall was unable to test Emily’s chat features on the site.)
The next stage of human-AI relations
Maybe Lovense isn’t selling a doll so much as a road map to a long-term relationship. During its CES demos, the company framed the product less as a sex device and more as a form of companionship. The company’s website says Emily can help you build trust through judgment-free communication and safe, intimate expression through exploration.
Lovense positions this sex robot as part of a broader ecosystem, rather than a standalone device, signaling a shift toward platforms that combine hardware, software, and long-term customization through machine learning.
At CES 2025, we saw A A humanoid robot called Ariaanother soft-skinned companion robot designed for a human-like appearance and emotional connection, but is more technologically complex. Her company, Realbotix, now has several customizable robots targeting different use cases outside of sex tech, such as media, healthcare, and corporate services.
One year later, at CES 2026, an accompanying Lovense doll demonstrates how the trajectory of sex robots reflects the trajectory of technology itself — from novelty to utility to attachment. As AI companions become more common, the line between product and partner is becoming harder to define.
Lovense ‘Emily’ Companion Doll Prices and Availability
According to the company, the doll will cost between $4,000 and $8,000, depending on the level of customization, and is expected to ship in 2027. You can join the Waiting list via the website Now with a $200 reservation fee.
Whether the idea of an AI-powered companion doll sounds cool, weird, or somewhere in between, its presence at CES says a lot about the direction things are headed.
As AI moves beyond screens and speakers, products like Emily point to a future where AI sex robots are no longer just programmable, but increasingly personal. Let’s just hope Emily doesn’t become like Ava in Ex Machina.
