The experience also seeks to bring the digital closer to the physical, the structure uses advanced materials, including an electronic skin with touch sensors and a thermoregulated heating system that keeps the surface close to human temperature, creating a more natural feeling of presence during the interaction.

The core of the proposal is an adaptive artificial intelligence system capable of learning habits, voice patterns and preferences over time. According to the company, the goal is to make the experience evolve along with the user, transforming robots into a companion that grows through interactions.

The design also includes a bionic facial structure developed with techniques used in the film industry, reinforcing the feeling of realism and expressiveness, the project was officially launched as a limited edition on Kickstarter with only 200 units and values ​​between $6,000 and $7,000, a positioning that places the IVA.i closer to a market experiment than a mass product at this first moment.

But perhaps the most interesting aspect is not in the hardware, but in what it represents, IVA.i arises at a time when artificial intelligence is ceasing to exist solely on screens and applications to gain physical form, although in a controlled, intimate and deliberately limited way. It's a sign that the next stage of AI may not be about machines that do everything for us, but about systems capable of occupying emotional spaces that previously belonged only to human interactions.

If the IVA.i represents the female form and the search for emotional connection through technology, another company decided to attack the same challenge through a different path, absolute realism and the male figure that I will mention in the next post.
