Sci-Fiction Movies on Robots - Star Trek |
| Data, the almost human android from Star Trek, who weighs 100 kg., carries a concealed master on/off switch centered just below his right shoulder blade. This switch is known only to the senior staff of the Enterprise: commander, first officer, chief engineer, chief medical officer and ship's counselor. As designed he is programmed not to lie or deceive, recalls everything he's ever been exposed to, cannot use verbal contractions, and has super-human strength, dexterity, voice duplication, self-diagnostics, and "fully functional" male sexual abilities without the emotional attraction. Though he approximates fellow humanoid sleeping patterns and work shifts, he of course needs no actual rest. |

- With the emotion chip, Data encounters emotional data overload and it was not enough to overrule the ethics program. May be with the ethics program a more sophisticated control than the Laws of Robotics, the future robots can work in harmony with humans.

A droid in the movie Star Wars is an intelligent robot. Famous droids include R2-D2 and C-3PO. Droids are used for many different purposes. Astromech droids are used aboard starships, as well as for repair work. Protocol droids are used for diplomatic affairs and for translating.
The word "droid" is a contraction of "android" which is a term used for human-like robots, but droids are not necessarily humanoid in appearance. Some droids do, however, exhibit human-like behavior; for example, they may react emotionally and think intelligently and self-reflectively.
