An automaton[1] or a droid[2][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.[4][5] Automatons' AIs are comparatively simpler than Dolls'.
Development and history
TBA
Technical design
Automatons are visually separated from Dolls by their unmistakably robotic appearance: they have no bionic skin to hide their mechanical parts and their head and feet units are not human-shaped. They however retain a general humanoid shape, with two legs, two arms and a separate head unit, which may be a remnant of early attempts at optimizing Dolls movement range.[6]
Appearance and behaviour
Military and security droids have never been shown speaking or doing anything else than fight according to human orders.
Pavel, an old civilian railroad maintenance droid, is depicted as possessing a basic level of human intelligence and speech: he read books and became fascinated by The Little Prince. Another GIRTM collected raw gold nuggets found during their work seemingly as a hobby. Pavel could interact somewhat normally with a human child, although in a stiff manner. Droids of his model are however shown to have a rather weak ego, considering their own recycling for scraps to be a natural part of their existence and voluntarily submitting to it as long as they considered their work achieved.[7] While he considered protecting humans part of his function,[8] he could do so selectively and defended Rosita against other humans by attacking with his wrench.[9] He also broke a painfully loud malfunctioning alarm, demonstrating a will to break rules for the benefit of others as long as he knew they wouldn't be enforced.[10] His demonstration of his inability to drink by physically lifting a glass to his head unit and spilling it on himself could be interpreted as dry humor.[11]
