Robots

Robot is a catch all term for machines capable of following programmed instructions. There are several different classifications of Robot, each with different skills and designs that allow them to perform their function. Below is a list of these different classifications with a description of how they are intended to function, although many robots encountered by the Dwarfers on their misadventures have broken their programming,

Animatronics: Simple and often poorly made fairground attractions that repeat a loop of instructions without being able to take new instructions on the fly.

Mechanoids: Complex androids that have artificial intelligence equal to that of human intelligence. Most often they are employed in roles where they will be closely working with humans (such as sanitation) or ones that would otherwise be occupied by a human.

Service Droids: Moderately sophisticated robots that are designed to perform maintenance tasks, either in areas deemed to hostile for humans or for tasks deemed to menial for humans. They often do not look humanoid, unless they are working near the public where they may have clothing or a simple face to help them blend in. Some are unable to talk.

Wax Droids: Often put to work in areas that require a lot of human contact, and are designed to look as close to a human as possible. They have moderate intelligence, and are able to adapt their programming to the current need. Although they are weak and unable to perform maintenance tasks well.
