Trainable modular robotic apparatus and methods

This describes a robot toy's body that has moving parts and an electrical connection. This body is designed to attach to a separate control unit, which then tells the body's parts how to move. The patent claims specifically focus on the design of this interchangeable robot body and its electrical connection, rather than the smart control unit itself.

Why it matters: Filed before significant advancements in consumer-grade AI and machine learning for robotics. The separate control unit, which would house the AI, could now be far more sophisticated and cost-effective than in 2017.

Status: Not in forceListed as no longer active. The specific reason is not in the record we hold.
How hard to build: ModerateCustom body, electrical interface
