The current invention proposes an advance form of exoskeleton for mobile devices formation of various new types of robots that allow solving problems of various classes using additional functional modules within the framework of the EMD concept. It further allows a significant expansion of the functionality of mobile devices, which—with the help of a specialized external frame can move in space and carry out various useful interactions with the outside world using removable working (instrumental) modules. This structure allows to reduce the cost of robotics by using standard mobile devices equipped with appropriate software as operators of various types of exoskeletons. The specified technical result is achieved by combining the functionality of the exoskeleton (a specialized external frame), which allows you to move in space and interact with the environment, and various mobile devices (smartphones, tablets, smartwatches).
