An automaton[1][2] or a droid[3] is an AI-piloted humanoid robot originally designed to serve as an easily replaceable fire platform for military operations. In modern parlance, they are distinct from Dolls, which is a term reserved for androids outfitted with a Neural Cloud granting them human-like behaviors. By opposition, Automatons' AIs are unable of complex communication and only receive commands from their commanders.
