These are some robots I designed on a vehicle chassis. Unless otherwise noted, these robots run off of an internal, sealed Fusion+ power supply, good for 1 year of operations before requiring maintenance, and cannot move at any useful speed beyond 1 diameter from a world.

7. Rescue Robot, Orbital. TL 9, Size 6, MCr 2.6.
VlSLiQL. Designed on the gravitic Launch pattern, these fast space borne units are used for openly searching for people or things. They are designed to operate in hostile environments as well as the vacuum of space.
Displaces 8 tons. Acceleration=1G (gravitic). Load=5.9 tons (mass and displacement). AV 20, all protections=10.

8. Rescue Robot, Surface. TL A, Size 6, KCr 275.
RePVlGP. Designed on the Grav Protector Flyer pattern, these fast airborne units are used for openly searching for people or things. They are designed to operate in hostile environments as well as the vacuum of space. Displaces 9 tons. Speed=8. Load=3,600kg. AV 30, all protections=20.

9. Shepherd Robot, Light. TL B, Size 6, MCr 11.
UFQS. For docking and module transfer. This is a computer brain-operated gravitic smallcraft (based on the Utility Shuttle) for automatically handling starships, typically at a starport or drydock. They are designed to operate in hostile environments as well as the vacuum of space. Displaces 76 tons. Acceleration=4G (maneuver drive). Load=42 tons. AV 20. All protections=15.

10. Shepherd Robot, Heavy. TL D, Size 6, MCr 33.
VhFUQS. For docking and module transfer. This is a computer brain-operated gravitic smallcraft (based on the Utility Shuttle) for automatically handling starships, typically at a starport or dry dock. They are designed to operate in hostile environments as well as the vacuum of space. Displaces 226 tons. Acceleration=2G (maneuver drive). Load=126 tons. AV 20. All protections=15.

11. Survey Robot. TL C. Size 6, KCr 780.
FRePGU(F). Based on the Utility Flyer frame, the survey robot is intended to be dispatched on or near the surface of a world, and comes standard with small manipulators, surface-related survey sensors, a medi-kit, and a Vdistant communicator. It is designed to operate in hostile surface environments and in close orbit. Displaces 20 tons. Speed=7. Load=27,000kg. AV 20, all protections=20.

12. Terraforming Robot. TL D. Size 6. MCr 30.
VhSUQK . Nearly immobile robotic factory used for long-term environmental change. Based on the Utility Packet frame. Designed to operate in very dense, corrosive, high pressure, or fluid media. Displaces 256 tons. Limited Acceleration=1G (maneuver drive). Load=90 tons (mass or displacement). AV 30, all protections=10.

13. Warbot, Mark I. TL D, Size 5, MCr 1.9.
WpnReAAVlLV. Designed on the Lift Vehicle frame, with an integral StOsPGC-13 Plasma Gun built into the structure. The Light Warbot is a 1 meter-radius sphere with a lift module. The computer is an Advanced Model/2bis photonic with a P2 Positronic-2 brain. Cost is included in the design. Speed=5. Load=330 kg (incl. Plasma Gun).
AV 30, Protections=[20,20,20,52,40,40]. Displaces 1/4 ton.

1) What is the purpose of an "Orbital Control Robot" ?

2) What is the name of your Megacorp, and where are you based out of?

3) Do you have any more details on the terraforming 'bot?

These are pretty cool, and useful. Especially the agricultural 'bots, what are the bulk prices?

(1) General purpose traffic management. Capable of patrolling traffic, enforcing traffic rules, providing guidance and emergency assistance, implementing checkpoints, and first-line security.

(2) Lesler-Khalan is better known for their mercenary outfitting service, but this is a sample of their robotics business.

(3) Yes, details are available at your local LK information kiosk, in fine starports everywhere.

(4) For bulk purchase inquiries, please contact a friendly local LK sales specialist to work out order details, since regional incentive discounts may apply.
 
How big were those Ancient robotic juggernauts on Vland? Let's design a couple of them.
