Sue will lead Realbotix's D2C subsidiary that merges AI, robotics, and advanced materials to create highly personalized experiences focused on individual connection, wellness, and human-AI interaction. Her strategic vision for Realbotix's D2C business is to build an integrated, design-led platform at the intersection of AI, robotics, and human connection. Spanning hardware, software, and intelligent experiences, as we define a new category of embodied AI.

The D2C business strategy includes growth in three core areas: i) continued development of advanced materials and highly realistic physical products; ii) the launch of a customizable, subscription-based digital AI platform focused on one-on-one engagement; and iii) the marketing and distribution of affordable robots capable of emotional and physical human interaction.

"The next phase of AI is not just software; it's becoming physical," said Mrs. Ennis. "We are moving into a world where AI exists beyond the screen. Realbotix is well positioned to lead this shift and build a premium platform, with proprietary technology, at the center of a large and growing global opportunity across companionship, wellness, and human-AI interaction."
