One of many in Vulcan Systems’ line of “wearable” drones, the Utility-One (also known as the U1) was originally designed as a sort of assistant for blue-collar laborers and repair/maintenance specialists, essentially nothing more than a fancy smart toolbox. That quickly changed, however, and the design evolved as feedback from prototype field testers came in. Approximately the size of a standard repair kit package, the U1 carries tools and other small pieces of equipment and can be worn by the user as needed (belt, shoulder, or upper thigh). The drone can present or store a specific tool or piece of equipment as ordered by either voice or mental command. However, as the drone’s specs began to change, it became clear that it could also be used to supplement a metahuman repair team or act as a repair team via remote control. Inelegant in its aesthetics, looking like a small rectangular box with tool pouches attached, the U1 has retractable quad limbs with small claws and gecko-grip pads for basic locomotion. This allows the U1 to operate in small, confined spaces or hazardous areas. The U1 also features a set of retractable arms with fine manipulation hands. These hands can also detach, allowing any standard or power tool to be attached. The hands also feature advanced tactile sensors that give operators exceptional sensory input. The arms are not very strong, however, and have limited lifting capabilities. To make the U1 more accessible and marketable to the average person (re: non-riggers), the U1 comes with a proprietary “Operator Link” control system based on smartlink software. This link can be plugged into any data/cyberjack and allows the user to operate their specific U1 drone as if they were in cold-sim; VR gloves and a commlink are also required for this system to function properly. And like any drone, the U1 is fully compatible with rigger VCR/RCC systems.
