======Recreational and Personal Robots======

These include specialized recreational robots and general-purpose bodies useful for housing digital intelligences or cyborgs. Even when AI is common, this sort of robot may
be popular as a teleoperated puppet.

This general-purpose humanoid robot body comes in
male, female, and androgynous versions. Custom designs,
including those that resemble real people, are also possible.
Higher-TL models are cheaper and more reliable.

===Petbot (TL9-12): 71 points===
This is a small mechanical beast with a head and four

Typical models resemble small dogs, house cats, miniature
dinosaurs, and so on, although they usually have modified
paws or claws with opposable thumbs that give them some
manipulatory ability.

keeping track of children, or pest control. They can be
equipped with a range of sensors and “natural” weapons.

===Recreational Swarms (TL10)===
These are microbot or nanobot types. See Swarmbots
(pp. 35-37).
==Massage Swarm (TL10)==
These swarmbots are similar to a cleaning swarm
(pp. 69-70), but they are equipped and programmed to
deliver relaxing or erotic tactile sensations to their subject.
They use Professional Skill (Massage)-10 and Erotic Art-10,
(+1 per TL after introduction), or provide a +TL/2 (quality)
bonus to someone directing them. $200/square yard. LC4.
==Play Swarm (TL10)==
These swarmbots are equipped to play and interact with
one another in an amusing fashion. For example, a “farm
in a box” might contain ’bots that look and act like tiny animals, agricultural robots, human farmers, and so on.
$200/square yard. LC4.
