- A phone is the face (expressive eyes, voice and games) on a PVC neck over a LEGO base; the demo base was remote-driven.
- The design wires ultrasonic and motion sensors through an ESP32 to the base and head motors, with the phone linked over Wi-Fi or Bluetooth.
- Rehab as play: follow-me walks, air piano, a boxing partner, and reaction and memory games.
