<robotics> (From "android") The robots of the Star Wars
universe. While androids look somewhat human-like, Star Wars'
droids are typically fashioned in the likeness of their
creators or in a utilitarian design that stresses function
over appearance. Droids are equipped with artificial
intelligence, though some are naturally created smarter than
others depending on the function they are designed to serve.
"Droid" is a Lucasfilm Ltd. trademark.
