How it works

The GrowBot parts laid out flat before assembly
1

BUILD THE BODY

Can be done in as little as 20 minutes once you have the parts.

2

SNAP IN ANY PHONE

One link in his browser and he sets himself up.

HE OPENS HIS EYES

He learns your face, keeps it close, and asks to be picked up.

4

HE COMES ALIVE

Real clip from my desk. Two servos and a lot of personality.

THEN, BUILD ANYTHING

Add sensors, swap bodies, drive whatever you can wire. My next victim: this parrot.

This build is alive too.

I'm constantly evolving it to meet the needs of hackers and newbies. Join our Discord to see what we're up to.

It gets you to the same place as my kit, but you can start now. If you get stuck, the guide has a fix for every mistake my testers made, and I'm one email away.

Questions

Do I need a 3D printer?
No. Print the body at your local library, or use any other material. People have used wood, cardboard, even Lego. It's flexible!
Do I need to know electronics?
No, I designed this for first timers!
What phone does it need?
Any iPhone or Android, including the old one in your drawer. Not sure?
What if I'd rather have it all in one box?
That's the kit: $99, everything included, arriving October. Reserve one here. The Builder's Pass comes free with it.

He could be walking this weekend.

You're in. Talk soon.

Made by Brit Cruise and Harsh Dadwal. If you have any questions: info@growbot.dev

You're on a desktop, so: no.

And that's the point. A GrowBot needs a phone because the phone is his eyes, ears, balance, voice and brain. Your desktop has none of that. It can't feel anything.

Open this page on any iPhone or Android (the old one in your drawer counts) and press the button there.

the phone IS the robot. the body is just legs.

Almost ready!

The Builder's Pass goes live in a few days. I'm finishing the delivery experience so day one is smooth.

Join the email list at the bottom of this page and I'll tell you the moment it opens.

so close.
