MonkeyBots | digital data into physical responses

Smartphones are amazing. Their notifications, reminders and nudges create the rhythm of modern life – yet each push-notification tears us from the physical world back behind the screen, where our attention gets hijacked and we lose time and energy.

MonkeyBots are small IoT Robots that free your digital events from your phone and turn them into movement in the physical world. MonkeyBots can click analog switches, rattle pills or hit the Gong in order to poetically remind you of important things or automate your daily routines. MonkeyBots come with an array of sustainably 3D printed add-ons to grip, push, hit or click almost anything.

MonkeyBots are not another creepy IoT product that steals your attention and sells your data. MonkeyBots enhance the human experience by adding a digital layer into the physical world: Retrofitting your beloved coffee-maker from the 1970s to your sleep-cycle app or connecting Grandmas picture to your call history – turning away, when you forget to call.

MonkeyBots are only connected to your phone by Bluetooth-Low-Energy and have no microphones, no cameras – making it impossible to spy on you. Your phone can access the internet‘s rich selection of useful APIs, automations and events, but with BLE connection MonkeyBots only move if you (and your phone) are close by.

Good design is unobtrusive: An off-white square can stand on 5 sides with a LEGO compatible side on the bottom and a big plus on top to add different tools. Each tool is 3D printed in one extrusion, leveraging compliant mechanisms to work without moving parts. Printed from organic PLA or recycled PET MonkeyBots tools can be manufactured in unique colors to fit different living environments. Life is richer when your phone’s blue light fades and metallic pings silence. Get MonkeyBots and let the phone stay in your pocket.

Let’s-get-physical!
