The RealDoll sex robot brand is set to become further separated from the Realbotix consumer-facing robots brand, under the terms of a new business deal.
Realbotix Corps owns Realbotix LLC, which makes consumer-facing humanoid non-sex robots. Realbotix Corps also owns Abyss Creations, which makes RealDoll sex robots. Realbotix LLC is now being transferred to Onconetix, Inc, a company trading on the NASDAQ stock exchange.
Abyss Creations and its RealDoll brand will not be part of this sale, so will be further separated from the consumer-facing robot part of the business. Abyss Creations will, however, remain owned by parent company Realbotix Corps, so the companies will almost certainly continue to share technology and some staff.
Why the split?
Realbotix LLC has been pushing consumer-facing robots hard as it looks for investment and sales since the 2024 acquisition. It focuses on robots that could operate in hospitality and events spaces such as hotels and theme parks, plus platonic companion robots that could operate in places like hospitals and care homes.
Matt McMullen, Abyss Creations’ founder, has become chief creative officer at Realbotix LLC as part of the Onconetix, Inc move. Prior to that he was chief operating officer of Realbotix LLC. He said that investors and clients can be put off tech companies that deal in sextech.
“It’s hard to do business with big corporate entities [like] hotel chains,” McMullen told SEXTECHGUIDE in 2025 when asked about the possibility of separating the businesses. He added: “If there’s an obvious connection between sex dolls and [non-sex] robots… someone on their board is like, ‘No’. So, that’s why we’re careful about keeping the two isolated.”
In 2024 the investment company Tokens.com acquired Abyss Creations along with Realbotix, Abyss Creations’ AI and robotics subsidiary that provided technology for RealDoll sex robots. After that acquisition the newly restructured company became Realbotix Corps.
Realbotix LLC recently unveiled David (pictured above), a male humanoid robot with a slight smirk. He joins Ara, the company’s flagship female humanoid robot, on the robot roster.
The robots can be bought as modular units that cost around $150,000. But they absolutely, definitely cannot be used for sex.
