Artie

Designation: Set 11, Artie

Model: ARG-110711

Series: Sukehiro

Type: Autonomous Resource Gatherer

Description:

Notes: The upper torso was originally designed to be incorporated into a bipedal locomotion system.

Dave

Designation: Set 08, "Dave."

Model: ARG - 082511

Series: Sadanobu

Type: Autonomous Resource Gatherer

Description: Bipedal terrestrial heavy frame. Phase shift stability actuators. Titanium carbide joint matrix. Single dedicated diamond tipped drilling arm. Single reinforced biomimetic manipulator arm.

Notes: With mineral resources virtually depleted on Earth, exclusively terrestrial mining units, like Dave, are becoming increasingly low in demand. Still, Dave is an efficient digger, and regard by some to be the best in the field. Additionally, he has not only survived more than a few massive cave-ins, but has also managed on several occasions to dig himself out before his rescuers could even begin operations.

Ezra

Designation: Set 07, "Ezra."

Model: ARG - 072911

Series: Sadakuni

Type: Autonomous Resource Gatherer

Description: Heavy frame bipedal rock softener.

Notes: Ezra can pulp massive amounts of rock in preparation for the extraction of helium 3.

Nelson

 



























Designation: Set  06, "Nelson."
Model: ARG - 071511

Series: Yoshiyuki

Type: Autonomous Resource Gatherer

Description: Small frame self-contained terrestrial mining unit. High tensile tri-claw manipulators. Pressurized electronic brain casing, with industrial grade sealed conduits.

Notes: In an effort to reduce cost and impact in mining operations both on and off world designers have resorted to reducing the physical size of their resource gathering units. Nelson in particular stands out as a dynamic example of the concept.

Orville

Designation: Set  06, "Orville."

Model: ARG - 070611

Series: Okisano

Type: Autonomous Resource Gatherer

Description: Decapodal underwater chassis. Forward mounted twin multi-jointed primary collection tentacles. Mass compressed gas storage.

Notes: Harvesting methane crystal deposits on the ocean floor has done much to relieve the growing energy needs of the most recent robotic revolution. With the majority of terrestrial power stations now fueled by refined methane, any automaton with a battery can rely on Orville to keep them fully charged, if indirectly.
