	== Robotics ==		== Robotics ==
			The most common uses of robotics in the modern day are construction and manufacturing. Remote-operated robots are also often used for work in situations or environments that are difficult or hazardous for humans to access. With the rise of slave-AI, however, the appearance of semi-autonomous robots in common society is growing rapidly, particularly among the wealthy. Such robots are capable of duplicating human intelligence and interactive capabilities to an astonishing degree, but (due as much to strict regulations as research and technological limitations) are not truly sentient, and have highly developed fail-safes that allow their actions to be easily overridden by human operators.

			True, independent Artificial Intelligence, as far as the public knows, does not exist. Limited slave AIs have existed for a number of years, however, used primarily in conjunction with robotics technology and computer security systems.

			Following the massive west coast earthquakes of 2032, the United States government and several private corporations worked in concert to create the Los Angeles, San Francisco, and Seattle arcologies to replace the largely-destroyed metro areas they once occupied.
