Fritz



Designation: Set 01, Fritz
Model: ADS - 012612
SeriesShigemune
TypeAutonomous Domestic Support 
Description: Small frame bipedal humanoid, constructed from 98% post consumer materials. Large capacity MacLean type liquid state electronic brain. Twin dorsal mounted wide array multiphasic rectenna panels.
Notes: Low-cost and and unobtrusive, Fritz provides economic power conversion and projection, sufficient to maintain the operations of a typical household's entire device population, or up to 6000 kWh per household per year for 3 residents average per household. He is actually able to regulate the output of energy to each device selectively, based on their individual needs. The only problem is he is completely free to make arbitrary decisions on what constitutes the exact "needs" of those he supplies based solely on whim.

Manfred



Designation: Set 10, Manfred
Model: ADS - 102511
Series: Kikuhira
Type: Autonomous Domestic Support
Description: Humanoid construct. Positive force joint structure. On-board negative energy filtration system.
Notes: Although a decent butler, Manfred is prone to maintenance problems and potentially self destructive tendencies. Regular sessions with Jim lessen such eventualities, although residual perceived failure in obligation seems inherent in his initial programming.

Cornelius



Designation: Set  09, "Cornelius."
Model: ADS - 090811
Series: Kanenori
Type: Autonomous Domestic Support
Description: Small frame bipedal sub-humanoid. One fifth scale fully biomimetic manipulator arms and feet. Semi-organic nano colony brain system. Lightweight polymer exterior plating.
Notes: Cornelius is pragmatic, calculating, perhaps even diabolical. What he is not is a happy robot. Retroactively programing forced positive intuitive reasoning is possible, but often the results of such tampering leads to unforeseeable complications. It is not unprecedented for Cornelius to suddenly develop self destructive tendencies after modification. Alteration is not recommended.

Lewis






























Designation
: Set  06, "Lewis."
Model
: ADS - 071411
Series: Kunimasa
Type: Autonomous Domestic Support
Description: Non-humanoid quadruped.Tri-link biomechanical harmonization aura projection system.
Notes: Lewis grows on you. Slowly at first. But given enough time he will completely integrate himself as a vital household management component. Soon the mere concept of performing even simple tasks, such as appliance preference synchronization seems an unbearably daunting challenge. Simply diabolical...

Gavin




Designation: Set  05, "Gavin."
Model: ADS - 062411
Series: Hiroyuki
Type: Autonomous Domestic Support
Description: Flight enabled, non-humanoid type.
Notes: Originally designed for military use, it was soon obvious that Gavin was not cut out for a life of killing and destruction. So, refitted with domestic management hardware, he now finds gainful employment as a floating robotic butler.

Andy

 
 
 
Designation: Oscar - Set  04, "Andy."
Model: ADS - 042211
Series: Kiyosada
Type: Autonomous Domestic Support
Description: Bipedal janitorial unit.
Notes: Andy's low production cost make him an attractive selection for large scale and industrial operations. This is fortunate, because there is little else attractive about him.

Murray




Designation: Delta - Set  04, "Murray."
Model: ADS - 041111
Series: Kanetsune
Type: Autonomous Domestic Support
Description: Bipedal, low cost frame, constructed from %65 recycled materials.
Notes: Murray is an attempt to fabricate an economic, low impact autonomous household assistant. Unfortunately, his mood suppression programming tends to leave him rather mopey.

Toby





Designation: Sierra - Set  03, "Toby."
Model: AT - 033011
Series: Yoshifusa
Type: Autonomous Domestic Support
Description: Bipedal servant type.
Notes: Toby washes dishes.

Theodore




Designation: India - Set  03, "Theodore."
Model: ADS - 032011
Series: Yoshiyuki
Type: Autonomous Domestic Support
Description: Low impact recycled synthetic fiber construction. Nondescript operating protocol. Specialized household management  programming. Symbiotic integration with intelligent home spaces. 
Notes: Theodore is a high-end butler for fast-paced lifestyles. His greatest attribute seems to be his almost invisible efficiency, as he operates almost exclusively without a governing personality. Most of his patrons are in fact barely aware of his existence.

Edward




Designation: Delta - Set  03, "Edward."
Model: ADS - 031511
Series: Ujifusa
Type: Autonomous Domestic Support
Description: Full-size collapsible articulated bipedal humanoid. Breaks down to one-fifth of operating size for storage. Composite carbon fiber knit construction for easy carrying without compromising structural durability. 
Notes: Edward is the kind of robot people acquire for specific jobs, like moving furniture, and then store away when the job is done, never to use him again. This is unfortunate, because, despite his relatively inexpensive construction, he is quite capable when it comes to domestic management.
