"The Industri-Arm, as it came to be nicknamed by its creators, was a factory and utility robot constructed sometime around the early 21rst century by a firm that specialized in heavy industry following advancements in robotics and computing sciences, meant to replace earlier "single arm" robots as a more efficient platform capable of not only doing the work of several of its predecessors at once, yet also preforming more complex tasks such as shaping metal, welding, and fabricating all in short order in order to also replace larger machinery that would normally occupy a whole room, or to allow it to work in their steed in case they were to break down. An ambitious project, the original specifications had two modular arms built into the chassis, which was to move on rails built around the factory in the original version, eventually being outfitted with an optional hover fan (powered by a gasoline motor) in order to give the machine a larger range of motion and then a gyro-stabilized jet after the fan proved unsatisfactory, though the rail option was to be the predominantly marketed version due to being less complex. Outputs existed in order to allow additional modifications, including attachments adding two additional arms (which came with a standard order, and were by default a laser cutter and additional grasper), as well as a central control system allowing the unit to be programmed in conjunction with any other machinery present in the factory. An overseer was to ride within the robot's cockpit, from which it could be configured and controlled manually if needed."
