LOOI (TangibleFuture, Hong Kong) is hardware that turns your smartphone into a desktop robot: a magnetic base makes the phone its 'face', the camera its 'eyes', and on-device/cloud AI its 'brain', while LOOI supplies only the mechanical body that nods, shakes and makes biomimetic expressions. The companion app chats via ChatGPT and supports weather/call alerts, photos and motion games, with 1200+ biomimetic behaviors. Its 2024 Kickstarter raised $518k (3,578 backers); retail is $189, crowdfund from $129. It does not replace the phone — it gives AI a physical presence.
