Robot addons
Each addon is a small, focused module — a charging dock, a payload tray, a behavioral companion — designed to bolt onto an existing robot rather than replace it. Real BOMs from AliExpress, parametric OpenSCAD CAD, install steps, and compatibility list.
Utility(1)
Payload(1)
Companion(2)
Pet companion module for quadruped robots
A removable rear-mount module that turns a quadruped robot into a temporary mate-stand-in for pets that have residual mating instinct after spaying/neutering. Anatomical silicone insert, body-temperature heating pad, dog-appeasing pheromone reservoir, self-cleaning cycle when docked.
Eldercare companion module (fall detection + meds + video call)
A behavioral and safety module that turns a quadruped robot into an unobtrusive companion for elderly people living alone. Continuous fall detection via vision + IMU, medication reminders, scheduled video calls to family, daily wellness check. Designed with a geriatric-care nurse, not a sales pitch.
Comfort(3)
Clip-on motorized tail for companion robots
Loona, AIBO, Pari and Vector look almost-alive but tail-less, which kills the uncanny gap. This addon clips a 14cm articulated silicone tail onto the rear of the robot, with three servos for wag/curl/posture and an open API that lets the host robot control it as an emotional output channel.
Cat saddle for Roomba and other robot vacuums
A grip-padded ergonomic saddle that bolts onto the top of a Roomba, Roborock or Dreame robot vacuum. Cats already ride these — the saddle gives them a proper seat with claw-friendly fabric, a low rim and an emergency 'meow alert' button on the rim that pages the owner if the cat panics.
Wedding ring bearer module (rentable)
A small velvet ring pillow on a stabilized mount that bolts onto a quadruped robot, programmed to walk down the aisle on a marked path with a sealed magnetic ring holder, RGB LED ambient lighting, and a remote-trigger 'release' that opens the ring holder when the officiant gestures. Designed for wedding videographers and rental companies.
Sensor(3)
Paranormal investigation kit for quadruped robots
An IR-thermal + EMF + ambient temperature + audio recorder pack mounted on a quadruped chassis, set up for autonomous overnight patrols of allegedly-haunted locations. Automated 'anomaly bookmarks' with timestamp + sensor delta when readings spike. Skeptics-and-believers neutral.
Trace-detection nose module for quadruped robots
A swappable PID + electrochemical sensor head that turns a quadruped robot into a mobile trace-detection unit for narcotics, explosives precursors, or VOC leaks. Same sensor stack used in industrial gas-detection meters; legitimate use cases are security, customs, and chemical-plant safety, not at-home recreational sniffing.
Service-dog stress-monitoring harness adapter
Mounts a real service dog's harness telemetry (heart rate, breathing, body temp, geolocation) onto a quadruped robot that follows the dog while it works. Real service dogs need real recovery time — this lets the handler track the working dog's stress levels in real-time without strapping more electronics on the dog itself.

Drop a one-liner ("a heated payload tray for cold deployments", "a thermal camera mount for Anymal") and the AI will spec it out.
