That's a good start, but I think the chart is missing a few. Let's add the missing. I like Robocop "ED 209" for civil security patrols.

And as Star Trek NG's "Data" can be included... then so too my favorite honey-bot android - Star Trek TOS's "Andrea". She would be on any star-ship that I'm on! Smile

And, as the terms: robot, android, cyborg, drone, droid, etc. have now become blurred... I will also add my favorite ship's computer, artificial intelligence-based hologram entity. "Rommy" of the 2000 "Andromeda" tv series.

Sherry Jackson is about 5 feet 5 1/4 inches and STILL very beautiful at 72-years-old. (AND incredibly intelligent too!)

As a more modern 'general utility' sci-fi humanoid robot, to take aboard star-ships / colonizing ships... I would choose multiple units of: the "Zero" robot, from the 1994 tv series "Earth 2".



It has no fantastic capabilities like 1956 "Forbidden Planet" Robby robot. But it is adequate for general labors - like ship repairs, colony-structure building, etc. And it is desirably (by me)... face-less, and not warrior-ish. Simple, with minimal A.I personality. Expendable, when need be.

Bless her. I hope she knows her work is still appreciated.
