”I indeed do not, aside from the now decommissioned clone printer in GeneriBrand HQ, which I would likely be murdered for trying to access! I am unique, adrift in the cosmos with no kin other than myself!"
"No kin, not even others named Ed?" says a quiet voice from inside a dirty laundry hamper.
((What’s the robot like? Can it sense the environment in any way?))
((The robot is a fully automated assembly line that makes DNA and RNA test kits, mostly for covid lately.
Imagine two large circular rotating tables. Each of them is ringed by several simple skeletal robot arms. And other devices, like nozzles, friction welders, printer and lable applicator, conveyor belts and hoppers of material, etc. Most of it is pneumatically powered. There are hoses and wires everywhere. The whole thing is surrounded by a safety cage. I can post some pictures of it in discord.
The robot is aware of a lot, or at least it has a lot of sensors cameras. It senses the the position of its own limbs. It senses the presence of test tube and other materials at each of its stations. It senses how much air pressure, temperature, voltage, etc it has. The cameras check to make sure the caps are right side up, the level of fluid in the tubes, the barcode is printed properly on the lable, and to make sure the finished kit is sitting properly in its bag.
I am working on adding a pair of new sensors to double check that the caps are properly applied, so that it stops spilling DNA/RNA stabilizing fluid on a conveyor belt.))
