The Android (·𐑨𐑯𐑛𐑮𐑶𐑛) is a line of autonomous household helper robots developed by Lightspeed Industries. Designed to resemble the Tallisite species, the Q-Series Android is equipped with advanced artificial intelligence, allowing it to perform a wide range of tasks including cleaning, cooking, and providing companionship.
The original Android series was released to the market as an intelligent assistant, but it was not well received due to its limited capabilities. In response, Lightspeed Industries integrated their proprietary N-type Neural Coprocessor into the Q-Series Android, significantly improving its performance and capabilities.
Lightspeed sells a wide variety of androids, with models for home, industry and law enforcement purposes, all identified by first names. These first names can be changed upon delivery, but also function as model numbers. The current model stack is as follows:
Harvey (HRV) is an autonomous intelligent android developed for comprehensive home use, including a range of domestic chores such as cooking, cleaning, and child care. An N-type neural coprocessor upgrade is available for a premium.
Ada (ADA) represents a specialized version of the Q1B line, specifically adapted for single-person households. Emulating the female body, Ada offers a personalised companion experience, blending daily task assistance with interactive companionship. Beyond managing household chores, Ada incorporates emotional recognition software to engage in meaningful conversations, making it a suitable choice for those seeking both assistance and social interaction in their living spaces. They are equipped with the N-chip by default. Ada is also the most popular android Lightspeed currently offers.
Nora (NRA) is an autonomous intelligent android designed for office environments as an employee and secretarial assistant. Engineered to streamline office operations, Nora excels in administrative tasks such as scheduling meetings, managing correspondence, and organizing files. Equipped with advanced communication protocols, it seamlessly integrates into existing IT infrastructure, providing support without disrupting workplace dynamics. By default, Nora ships without an N-chip.
Virgil (VGL) is an advanced android model tailored for law enforcement applications. Named with historical vigilance in mind, this model is equipped with targeting software and licensed for autonomous operation of firearms. Virgil's primary functions include patrolling assigned areas, threat assessment, and providing immediate response to criminal activities. For enhanced combinatorics and durability, Virgil androids ship with an N-chip and a hardened substrate by default.
