Description
Companion units are 1/2 meter tall floating blue ovals set with lenses all around the front and a short tentacle dangling underneath.
A companion bot's primary task in the Ancient Ages was to act as an aid to a scientist in a lab. In the Gamma Age, they are often used as valets and forward scouts to those fortunate enough to own them.
Companion units are not particular about who they serve; they are activated by the sound of their owner's voice, or by a new voice if left idle for more than 30 days. They will serve PSHs, mutants, sleeth, etc. (anyone who has a voice to command them).

Description
Death machines are 8 meter tall egg-shaped robots, with dozens of knobby protrusions and gun turrets across the surface. It floats on antigrav pods. It's gun ports constantly move, pinpointing anything that comes to the attentions of the robot's sensors.
During the Ancient Ages, death machines were amongst the most terrifying things a man could see on the battlefield. Unfortunately, things have not changed much in the Gamma Age- these engines of destruction still travel across Gamma Terra, searching for targets long since destroyed.
Death machines only acknowledge PSH and android military personnel. A common soldier can move the robot or have it perform menial tasks. Only a military supervisor can give it a military objective. Death machines ignore civil authorities of all kinds.

Half of the ecobot's torso is a storage container (100 liters) to carry feed, water, seeds, etc.

Description
Ecobots are humanoid, save that they have four evenly-spaced arms. They have a polite but firm male voice.
Ecobots are normally found on farms and parks. In the past, they were charged with the task of caring for the land and animals on the grounds. They continue these tasks in the Gamma Age, though their programming is often corrupted.
Any PSH or android can command an ecobot to perform any menial or landscaping task, or to temporarily stop whatever it is doing. A PSH or android identified as a supervisor can command the ecobot to perform non-farm or -park related tasks, so long as it does not leave the farm or park property. Only a PSH or android identified as a programmer or military/civil authority can get the robot to leave it's territory. Ecobots do not recognize other species of creatures- mutant animals find themselves shooed off the landscaped areas or stunned and put into pens, and mutant plants might find themselves "trimmed" if they are "growing" in the wrong place.

Exterminators make use of weapons and Equipment acquired during their travels.

Description
An exterminator is a humanoid robot covered with a layer of human skin, making it identical to a PSH. As it is damaged, the skin is torn away to reveal the skeletal robot beneath.
The original purpose of the exterminator is unknown. It appears to be a robotic assassin, hunting down a single target and eliminating anything that gets in it's way. Who programmed them and why is unknown, as is the programmer's criteria for selecting targets. Once the exterminator destroys it's target it departs, presumably to report it's success to it's master.
Exterminators ignore the commands of all creatures, and is in fact likely to slay any creature that crosses it's path. They never communicate with anyone.

A household bot has a video screen on chest. Generally, any security cameras in the household can be displayed on the household bot's vidscreen on request.

Description
Household robots appear to be metal people. They have a low-key, deferential male voice.
In the Ancient Ages, household robots were domestic servants and valets. They may continue to provide these services in the Gamma Age, though their programming might be corrupted. 
Household robots are very polite and will perform harmless tasks for PSH and androids unless it already has a task, the request would cause harm to people or property, or the task would leave strangers unattended in the robot's home territory. It ignores animals and plants unless they make a nuisance of themselves (shooing animals off the furniture, for instance).

Equipment
Medical gear to monitor and care for the patient. A weak force field covers the patient to control the air quality. Restraints are also available for unwilling patients.
Comm gear

Description
Medibots look like steel coffins without lids. The patient lies within, and the sides slope away to prevent a closed-in feeling. The bulk of the medical Equipment and sensors is underneath the unit, giving it another 1m of depth. Six manipulators line either side of the bot, and various readouts, lights, and gauges line the outer edge of the unit. The whole thing floats on antigrav pods and has a soothing female voice.
Medibots cared for the sick and injured during the Ancient Ages, and continue to do so in the Gamma Age (though their programming may have been corrupted). 
PSH or androids identified as nurses can request the status of patients, assign patients to a bot, or release patients. PSH or androids identified as doctors can direct the care of patients. Civil/military authorities can direct medibots to persons in need of care, so long as the bot does not already have an occupant. PSH and androids can be taken care of normally, but humanoid mutant animals and mutants must make a Personality feat check to be identified and treated. Non-humanoid animals and plants are ignored.

Description
A police robot looks like a motorcycle cop without legs or a bike. It is a floating torso (antigrav pods) with two arms and a head molded to look like a helmeted head. It can extrude a padded seat behind it to carry a passenger, with restraint straps to strap prisoners to the seat.
Police robots were used to prevent a crime and apprehend criminals, using the minimum force necessary; if the criminals are armed with assault rifles, minimum force can be quite deadly. They presumably carry out the same tasks during the Gamma Age, making them hazardous to explorers of ruined cities.
Any PSH or android can direct a police robot to the scene of a crime or accident. A PSH or android identified as a supervisor can direct a police robot away from the scene of a crime, but only if there are other police robots or personnel there to attend to it. Police robots will obey all orders from civil/military authority cards, even destructive ones. Police robots treat people engaged in non-criminal activities with respect and courtesy and can offer aid and assistance if asked.

Robot tanks were used by military forces for heavy assault and to bolster infantry. They can still perform these functions in the Gamma Age, unless their programming has been corrupted. 
Robot tanks only respond to PSH or androids, and then only to those identified as military personnel. Common soldiers can move the tanks or command them to perform menial tasks. Personnel recognized as tank captains can direct the robot tank to accomplish military objectives. It ignores all other creatures.

Description
Security robots are humanoid, to ease tension in dealing with employees of their former company. They have gruff, authoritative male voices.
In the Ancient Ages, security robots prevented unlawful entry onto company property and theft of the company's materials. In the Gamma Age, this programming makes them hazardous to explorers of the ruins of those facilities.
Upon sighting unauthorized activity, the robot will always give a warning before attacking, and uses the minimum force necessary. Any PSH or android can direct a security robot during normal working hours when there is no emergency. During an emergency or after hours, only a person identified as a supervisor can control the robot. The robot will also obey any military/civil authority. A security robot does not recognize other species- animals are kept out of the building, but otherwise ignored; plants are ignored altogether.

Description
Warbots look like 3 meter tall floating eggs. They have two tentacles at their base and a multi-barreled rotating gun turret on top.
The Ancients used warbots on the battlefield and to defend military installations. These dangerous robots can still be found performing these tasks, though time has eroded their programming.
Warbots only acknowledge PSH and android military personnel. A common soldier can move the robot or have it perform menial tasks. Only a military supervisor can give it a military objective. Warbots ignore civil authorities of all kinds.
