Give Your Phone a Real Body.

Mount your iPhone or Android in a removable core. Exobod supplies the limbs, wheels, mounts, and servo hardware; the handset keeps camera, mic, screen, and the assistant stack you already run.

AI in your phone. Motion in the world.

Built-to-order customization. Configure your body plan, mounts, motion package, and accessories. We guide each request through review, quoting, and production scheduling.

Selected

Walker

Movement, gestures, interaction, and personality.

Labs, demos, and embodied presence where bipedal motion fits your prototype goals.

Why Exobod

Humanoid robots start from zero. Exobod starts with the phone you already own.

Your smartphone already has AI, camera, microphone, speaker, display, connectivity, and apps. Exobod adds the missing layer: a customizable physical body.

Give every smartphone a useful body.

We do not replace your phone. We embody it.

Product

Configure once. Understand everything.

Pick a body, phone mount, motion profile, and accessories - then one order inquiry.

Walker, Desk, Rover, or Utility.

Phone As Brain

iPhone or Android with removable mount core.

Safe Motion Layer

Controller clamps speed and behavior profiles.

Built To Your Spec

Accessories, finishes, and use-case options.

Capabilities on this site are engineering targets until your agreement locks scope.

Product

Robot, specs, and reality in one view.

Targets below are engineering goals per configuration, not checkout SKUs. Final numbers lock in your agreement after review.

Exobod 3D concept render

3D render for visualization. Production geometry may differ by build tier.

Phone support

Target: iPhone + Android via removable universal mount core.

Body styles

Target: biped walker, desk base, wheeled rover, utility frame + EDU/Proto bundles.

Control stack

Target: phone AI + Exobod app + onboard MCU with manual estop.

Motion

Target: servo-driven limbs or wheeled bases depending on configuration (not interchangeable claims).

Materials

Target: hybrid 3D-printed shells + metal linkages at torque nodes.

Skills

Target: follow, record, gesture, carry, patrol, dance, assist, teach, present, monitor (per program).

Height / footprint

Target ranges issued per configuration after CAD lock - not single numbers pre-billing.

Servo count

Target band 8–24+ channels depending on body tier (engineering sign-off).

Prototype demo

Serious buyers can request a live or recorded walkthrough of the closest configuration to their scope. Availability depends on program phase; there is no paywall to ask.

Configurations

Pick a chassis like a robotics product page - then prove it on your bench.

Six entry paths inspired by platform robotics: four locomotion archetypes plus EDU and prototyping bundles. Every line below is a target or preorder-interest framing, not retail shelf specs.

Five steps. Human review at every gate.

1. Configure

Pick body type and phone fit.

2. Submit

Send order inquiry in one form.

3. Review

Team validates scope and options.

4. Approve

Confirm quote and timeline.

Use cases

Built for teams that need embodied AI on a bench.

Four highlights below. More scenarios on the use cases page.

Makers & Creators

Swap modules, iterate mounts, and show hardware progress without hiding the phone brain.

Desk embodiment

Mount the handset beside monitors; add motion cues, reminders, and presenter motion without hiding the phone brain.

Prototyping & Research

Prototype consultation-friendly builds for labs exploring human-robot interaction.

Build system

Hybrid frame. Serviceable layout.

Printed shells for speed; metal at torque nodes. Details on the build system page.

  • Printed carriers for fast geometry iteration.
  • Metal linkages at hips, shoulders, drivetrain.
  • Servo channels matched to each body plan.
  • Removable mount and swappable harness tails.

FAQ

Straight answers before you order.

Short preview below. Full list on the FAQ page.

Is this a phone case?

No. Exobod is a modular exoskeleton frame with mounts, joints, and motion hardware - not a cosmetic shell. Your phone stays the compute and UI core.

Does it work with iPhone and Android?

We design around removable cores for both families plus a universal mount path. Final fit and cable kits are confirmed during prototype intake.

Is it available now?

No. Everything on this site is preorder interest, prototype milestones, or custom engineering - not retail inventory or guaranteed ship dates.

Can it really walk?

Walker-class prototypes explore gait within lab guardrails. No guarantee of outdoor autonomy, uneven-terrain success, or consumer-grade reliability - those require program-specific testing.

Can ChatGPT control the body?

The phone AI can generate commands and routines, while the onboard controller translates approved commands into safe motor actions. Prototype behavior depends on body type, controller setup, and testing.

For Builders

Build With Us

3D print designers, robotics engineers, schools, makerspaces, educators, and early investors: co-develop shells, supply batch prints, host pilots, or back milestone builds. We coordinate through the preorder desk until a dedicated partner program exists.
