This is EgoScience's first Kickstarter campaign, so there's no shipping history yet to point to. That said, EgoScience describes itself as an independent product studio focused on consumer robotics with real cross-disciplinary experience. The early backer momentum and "Project We Love" badge suggest the community is buying what they're building.
A genuine desktop robot with endless reactions, evolving personalities, and no fixed dialogue script — it actually feels alive rather than scripted. Runs locally with no cloud dependency, which is a smart and increasingly rare design choice. A Special Finish Edition tier adds collector appeal for fans of premium hardware aesthetics.
Going cloud-free is a meaningful privacy and longevity win, since Cubie won't brick if a server goes dark. The local-first approach respects user data in a way most consumer robotics skip. Material and packaging sustainability details aren't highlighted, so there's headroom there.
Super Early Bird lands at $179, Early Bird at $199, and the Kickstarter Special at $219. The Special Finish Edition runs $249, and a 2-Pack Super Early Bird is $399. For a cloud-free desktop companion robot with real personality, the pricing feels honest.
