Fiction got there first
Pygmalion starts with a custom-made lover. Westworld turns humanoids into a pay-per-visit service. Her removes the body altogether. The technology changes; questions about ownership, memory, obedience and agency keep returning.
The fiction timeline follows 22 works and asks what each one got right about the market now taking shape.
Home humanoids have early-access order pages, adult systems have refundable reservations, and human-form production lines are being commissioned. We keep each date beside its evidence so delays stay obvious.
A soft-covered walking home robot with basic autonomy. For unfamiliar tasks, scheduled Expert Mode can involve remote human supervision.
An announced adult companion combining AI conversation with a realistic, poseable body. The GBP terms offer a refundable reservation; the final specification and purchase price can change.
XPENG commissioned IRON production lines on 8 September. It still targets mass production by the end of 2026 and China/overseas delivery in 2027. Initial uses are commercial; no UK home-companion offer is established.
Follow the price ladder or compare up to three robots. A robotic head, a complete body and a reservation need different price labels.
