Styrian Robotics

Styrian Robotics develops androids that can be controlled remotely by humans using a combination of zeotech and limited haptic feedback technology, with a focus on making the androids as dextrous, flexible, and coordinated as their human counterparts.

Though the company publicly claims that these robots are used for especially demanding tasks, such as extra-vehicular repairs of spaceships, search-and-rescue missions in hostile environments, or performing maintenance in spaces too small for traditional zeos, it’s an open secret that a large portion of Styrian Robotics’ revenue comes from covertly selling its robots as assassination tools for corporations and governments. Shareholders note that despite suspiciously frequent warehouse thefts and supposed pirate raids on its cargo ships, the company’s profits never seem to suffer.

Styrian Robotics’ most popular models are the Caramaeus, which features enhanced strength and small jump jets for higher mobility, and the Vaneron, whose arm and hand servos are sensitive enough to conduct open-heart surgery or manipulate sights of a sniper rifle.

Controlling these androids requires that the user remain relatively close to ensure that the signals from their control rig do not degrade or encounter interference. This control range is usually in the range of 100-200 meters.
