You may even want it normally to be disconnected from a [[Global microcomponent redistribution system\|microcomponent redistribution network]] and the internet but on the long run this may be unavoidable.

	* classical '''robotic manipulations'''		* terrain independent cloud like '''wheelchairs''' – much more specialized tools are much more likely – a fun curiosity maybe?
	* '''telepresence''' - but AP suits and "[[Multi limbed sensory equipped shells\|muliseeshells]]" work just fine and are less overkill - in both cases full- semi- and virtual reality become mixed up thoroughly. Recognition signs (like recycling symbols on plastic products) might be a good idea - so that in most cases you know what you are dealing with.		* '''crash-cushions''' – outside for unlucky pedestrians ~ soft grab and damp ~ no elastic bounce (which would doubling the impact)
