Use cases
Handset-first motion for concrete bench problems.
Each card ties a lab or studio problem to an Exobod configuration. Nothing here claims medical clearance, consumer safety certification, or autonomous operation in the wild.
Use case
Education
Problem
Robotics kits often hide the AI stack students already carry daily.
Exobod role
Exobod makes the phone the visible brain while the body teaches motion and mechatronics.
Example activity
Class modules pairing gait experiments with assistant voice prompts.
Use case
Creators
Problem
Static mounts limit storytelling and motion personality on camera.
Exobod role
Add articulated motion, trays, and rigs while keeping the phone as the capture brain.
Example activity
Motion-synced presenting with light modules and gesture packs.
Use case
Makers
Problem
Custom hardware needs repeatable mounting without rebuilding the core stack.
Exobod role
Modular ports and utility arms accelerate iteration on experimental end-effectors.
Example activity
Sensor mount + gripper swaps during weekend build sprints.
Use case
Desk Assistant
Problem
Voice assistants lack physical presence for reminders and focus cues.
Exobod role
Desk Assistant bodies add motion cues, display positioning, and assistive gestures.
Example activity
Timers, stand reminders, and subtle motion prompts beside your monitor.
Use case
Product Demos
Problem
Event demos need safe, scripted motion without overpromising autonomy.
Exobod role
Demo-oriented skill packs with controlled speeds for showroom floors.
Example activity
Patrol paths for rovers and scripted presenter motion for launch moments.
Use case
Accessibility Research
Problem
Teams need responsible testbeds—not medical claims—for presence experiments.
Exobod role
Utility and desk configurations for IRB-adjacent lab work with clear guardrails.
Example activity
Co-presence alerts with gentle motion cues—research-grade, not clinical.
Use case
Robotics Learning
Problem
Students need tangible feedback between code changes and physical outcomes.
Exobod role
Bridge coding lessons with articulated output tied to the phone interface.
Example activity
Sequence skills in the app, watch the body perform the routine.
Use case
AI Companion R&D
Problem
Pure software companions miss embodiment context and motion expression.
Exobod role
Experiment with personality, voice, and motion while iterating body types.
Example activity
Swap walker vs desk shells while keeping the same assistant stack.
