'''Robots''' are artificial pops and can be constructed once the required technology becomes available. They have the {{iconify|Mechanical}} trait, giving them {{icon|habitability}} {{green|+200%}} habitability on any planet. Robots can be given new traits via robo-modding, and the species template with the highest number of used trait points will be built by default. A different template can be specified for each planet.

The jobs a robot can have are limited by the highest robot technology researched. If an empire researches the {{iconify|Synthetics tech|21px}}科技, robots can be given sapience, which lets them be affected by {{iconify|happiness}} and have ethics.

Robots without ''Citizen Rights'' require 50% less {{iconify|housing}} and {{iconify|amenities}} and do not need {{iconify|consumer goods}}. If a planet with sapient robots is captured by an empire that doesn't have the {{icon|Synthetics tech|24px}} Synthetics technology, they lose their sapience, and if a planet with non-sapient robots is captured by an empire that has the {{icon|Synthetics tech|24px}} Synthetics technology and does not have the ''Outlawed'' Artificial Intelligence policy, they are immediately given sapience. Note that non-sapient robots can do all specialist jobs with {{icon|Droids tech|24px}} Droids tech, but not after researching {{icon|Synthetics tech|24px}} Synthetics tech.

{{expansion|utp}}
* It's possible to take the [[File:ap synthetic evolution.png|24px]] [[Traditions#Synthetic Evolution|Synthetic Evolution]] ascension perk and turn all organic pops and leaders into synthetics.
* {{iconify|Hive Mind}} empires cannot build robots and will always purge all robots on their worlds.

{{expansion|snd}}
* As long as an empire has the Artificial Intelligence policy set to ''Servitude'' there is a risk of them starting an [[AI rebellion]], if either the ''Synthetics'' or ''Sapient Combat Simulations'' techs have been researched.
* {{iconify|Machine Intelligence}} empires cannot build robots, but they can use them as drones if conquered from a regular empire or bought on the slave market. Robots in a Machine Intelligence empire can work all jobs and are not affected by happiness.
