Moddy is the third and most advanced version of the robot. It is obtained by adding a torso, two arms, and a head to the other two units. The robot can carry a tray with its two arms. Its head and big eyes making it into a really human character, reliable, and a companion to play with. It's not surprising then if Isao Hosoe, who designed "Modulus" together with Ann Marinelli, Donato Greco, and Alessio Pozzoli, also received special advice from his two children, ten-year-old Takeo and fifteen-year-old Taro.
The first two units were previously available on the market. Base complete with vacuum cleaner and plotter-mechanism, costscost about a million lire, while the price of the Techno-cake variesvaried from two to five million lire, depending on the type and number of components in function (not all the components were available yet, on account of the time needed to develop the software). It would probably take up to a year before Moddy was ready which would cost between eight and ten million lire, but unfortunately SisiusSirius became bankrupt before the "Modulus" project could be completed, althoughand asome fewof the robots had to be sold to companies that distributed them for the aid of handicapped while the rest of the Moddy robots were later sold into Norwaya byNorwegian company called Arngren Electronics A/S where they were re-sold during the early 1990's. The Norwegian museum of science and technology still have one of the original Moddy robots for display.
