The S2R(A) Science Droid was a civilian adaptation of the Science Research Droid created by the TelBrinTel Corporation. Like that droid, it was a vaguely humanoid unit measuring 1.9 meters in height, with two fine-control manipulator arms and legs possessing a suspension system that cushioned its steps. It was built with an advanced protocol chip for communicating with organic scientists, a molecular microscope and sophisticated olfactory analysis technology, and an "endosystem" designed to mount accessories on six ports located in its upper torso.
