Modular robot with smart device

A wearable smart device configured to operate with a robot having a robot processor and a robot input/output port, the wearable smart device comprising:

• a sensor configured to detect device data associated with an environment of the wearable smart device;
• a device input/output port;
• a device processor coupled to the robot processor via the robot input/output port and the device input/output port, coupled to the sensor and configured to operate in tandem with the robot processor to control the robot based on the device data;
• and
• a body configured to house the sensor, the device input/output port and the device processor and configured to be mechanically coupled to the robot.

A wearable smart device for use with a robot having a robot input/output port, a robot processor coupled to the robot input/output port and an actuator, the wearable smart device comprising:

• a device input/output port;
• a device sensor configured to detect device data associated with an environment of the wearable smart device;
• and
• a device processor coupled to the robot processor via the robot input/output port and the device input/output port, coupled to the device sensor and configured to:
• determine capabilities of the robot,
• determine a desired function to be performed by the robot, and
• control the actuator so that the robot performs the desired function based on the device data and the capabilities of the robot.
