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.

Desk One EVT first. Run the software demo, inspect revisioned Desk One evidence, or apply for a paid pilot. Walker / Rover / Utility remain labeled concept until a named serial clears safety and QC.

How it works

From the phone you own to motion you can verify.

Four concrete decisions turn a handset into a scoped Exobod build. Every step shows what exists now and what still requires engineering.

Exobod concept visual for Choose your bodyConcept visualization · geometry may differ

01

Choose your body

Start with Desk One, the stationary pan/tilt EVT path, or brief us on a Walker, Rover, or Utility concept. The body choice determines the frame, actuator plan, safety limits, and what we can honestly prototype.

02

Mount your phone core

Your iPhone or Android stays visible and removable. It supplies the screen, camera, microphone, connectivity, and assistant stack while a fitted core secures it to the motion hardware.

03

Tune motion behavior

Desk One supports calibrated two-axis pan and tilt today, with speed limits and a manual stop in the control loop. Gaits, wheels, arms, and broader skill packs remain configuration-specific engineering work—not implied features.

Desk One: 2-axis pan/tilt · broader motion is concept scope

Desk One — honest motion on a desk.

Stationary 2-axis pan/tilt for early builders. Your phone stays the brain. Not a walker, not battery-powered v1, not a finished retail SKU.

How it works

From demo to EVT pilot.

Four gates. Software proof first. No production promise without deposit + QC.

1. Demo

Drive gaze, clamp, and e-stop in software.

2. Evidence

Inspect Desk One CAD/BOM/firmware revision.

3. Scope

Qualify, sign EVT scope, then clear deposit.

4. Build

Work order only after deposit + manufacturing gates.

Body concepts

One phone brain. Different bodies.

Desk One is the real EVT product. Walker, Rover, and Utility remain concept paths — tap to preview the silhouette.

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.

01

Keep the capable core

Camera, microphone, display, connectivity, apps, and on-device intelligence stay on your phone.

02

Add serviceable motion

Mounts, controller, actuators, and replaceable frame parts are scoped around the job.

03

Upgrade without starting over

A removable phone core keeps the body useful when the handset or software stack changes.

Platform

Configure once. Understand everything.

Pick a body, phone mount, motion profile, and accessories — then one clear next step.

Choose Body

Desk One (EVT) or concept paths: Walker, Rover, Utility.

Phone As Brain

iPhone or Android with removable mount core.

Safe Motion Layer

Controller clamps speed and behavior profiles.

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.

Phone remains the visible core

The frame adds mounting and motion around hardware you already know. Exact geometry, joints, and materials lock only after configuration review.

Concept visualization · production geometry may differ by build tier

Phone support

Target: iPhone + Android via removable universal mount core.

Body styles

Desk One (EVT path) + concept targets: biped walker, 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

Desk One is the buyable path. Everything else is concept.

EXB-D1 Desk One is the early-access / reservable product. Walker, Rover, Utility, EDU, and prototyping kits are concept paths — configure and inquire, not retail shelf SKUs.

FAQ

Straight answers before you order.

Straight answers. Full list available if you need more detail.

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.
