Clark



Designation: Set  09,"Clark"
Model: AD - 092311
Series: Shimosaka
Type: Autonomous Developmental
Description: Large frame bipedal humanoid. Vibration and thermal dampening exterior casing. Non-Newtonian liquid state quantum flux computational matrix suspended in a semi-organic polymer shell.    
Notes: The beauty of a liquid brain is that it does not necessarily need to be confined inside the relatively limited space of a skull. With his ample outer shell Clark holds about 500 cubic meters of thought potential, from the tip of his toes to the top of his head. There are some indications however that prolonged repetitive physical activity can weaken the semi-organic polymer shell around the joint structures which can lead to leaking. The concern is that if left unchecked this could cause a slow degradation of intelligence.

Igor




























 



Designation: Set  08, "Igor."
Model: AD - 080911
Series: Nobuiye
Type:  Autonomous Developmental
Description: All technical data and specifications on this unit remain classified. 
Notes: Igor is but a representation of a growing trend in autonomous design, wherein the human component is completely removed. In fact, his development transpired devoid of biological insight or involvement. Most of his schematic plotting was done by Howard. Strangely enough, it is not entirely certain what function he actually serves, or even the full extent of his  capabilities. He may be armed with a prototype pulse weapon, but his exact specifications remain speculative due to corporate espionage laws.

Alvin





Designation: Set  05, "Alvin."
Model: AD - 060511
Series: Tadatsuna
Type: Autonomous Developmental 
Description: Full frame bipedal male type blank. Primed for latex, silicone, and organic cellular coating. Ultra-high-molecular-weight polyethylene musculature.
Notes: In many sentient electronic circles, obvious bio-mimicry for purely cosmetic reasons is considered a social taboo. The exception of course is camouflage for the purpose of infiltration with the intent of extermination. Alvin unfortunately does not do that.

Moses





Designation: Yankee - Set  04, "Moses."
Model: AT - 050211
Series: Kaneyuki
Type: Autonomous Developmental
Description: N/A
Notes: At this point no one is sure what Moses was originally designed for. Actually, no one is exactly sure what he capable off. Discovered deep within a secret development vault after the liquidation of the Kaneyuki design firm, it is not even certain he is a finished product. What is known is that he is devoid of locomotion, outside suspended propulsion, his electronic brain is either impenetrably shielded, and perhaps coded in an unprecedented ciphered language, and he has no mounting for manipulator arms. He seems intelligent, but uninterested in communication.

Howard




Designation: Zulu - Set  03, "Howard."
Model: AD - 040711
Series: Yasushige
Type: Autonomous Developmental
Description: Experimental temporal wave transcriber.  
Notes: It is assumed that while autonomous entities tend not to adhere to organized religion, if such a construct were required, Howard would doubtless serve a worthy physical manifestation or corporeal form befitting a robotic deity. As he stands, even though an obvious developmental model, he has managed to accrue a significant following of human worshipers.

Arnold




Designation: Yankee - Set  03, "Arnold."
Model: AD - 040511
Series: Hidetoki
Type: Autonomous Developmental
Description: Bipedal, armless. Flight enabled, quad opposing wave wing modules.  
Notes: The concept of "Artificial Intelligence" is now widely recognized as an early design fallacy, likely a manifestation of mankind's existential morality. Robotic development was based on a value comparative to human likeness, and if man dreamed of becoming God, it seemed he expected his creation to dream of becoming him. The current accepted trend is to pursue complete autonomy though organic self awareness. Robots should be perceived as individual mechanical entities, and not have personifications forced on them.
