电影



Astromech droids are a series of versatile utility robots generally used for the maintenance and repair of starships and related technology. These small droids are often equipped with a variety of tool-tipped appendages that are stowed in recessed compartments. The R2-unit is a popular example of an astromech droid.
宇航技工机器人是一系列多功能机器人，一般用于星际飞船和相关科技的保养和维修工作。这些小机器人一般装备有各种各样的小工具附肢，附肢平时收藏在小隔舱里。R2机器人就是宇航技工机器人中一个很受欢迎的例子。

衍生宇宙



Droid manufacturing giant Industrial Automaton has all but cornered the astromech droid market with their immensely successful R-series. Started during the Republic, Industrial Automaton's foray into the astromech market began with the oversized prototype P2 series. While the P2 tested successfully on merchant ships, copyright issues tied up full-scale production of the series.
机器人制造业巨头——工业机器人公司——靠他们成功的R系列几乎垄断了宇航技工机器人市场。早在共和国时代，工业机器人公司就从其超大型P2原型系列开始，涉足宇航技工机器人市场。虽然P2在商船上试用成功，但版权问题限制了该系列的全面生产。

Instead, Industrial Automaton recycled body shells of their old Mark II reactor drones to produce the R1 series, a stopgap measure that allowed them to have a new droid on the market, and dodge any legal issues regarding the P2. The tall cylindrical R1 proved to be a success aboard larger vessels and capital ships and paved the way for the revolutionary R2.
工业机器人转而再次利用其老式的Mark II反应堆机器人的外壳制造R1系列——这个权宜之计可以让他们向市场供应新的机器人，避开任何关于P2的法律问题。高圆柱型的R1在大飞船和主力舰上被证明是成功的，为革命性的R2铺平了道路。

The R2 was marketed as a "droid of all trades." Although designed specifically for deep-space repair and maintenance, the R2 could be modified to maintain a variety of equipment. Built-in navigation software allowed it to calculate and store hyperspace jump coordinates, a definite benefit for those consumers who own small starships with limited navicomputer capability. The Rebel Alliance employed astromech droids to enact in-flight repairs and increase the hyperspace range of their snubfighters.
R2被市场营销人员宣传为“万能机器人”。虽然专为深空维修和保养设计，但R2能被改装成维护各种设备。内置导航软件使它能计算和存储超空间跳跃坐标——这绝对有助于导航计算机能力有限的小星际飞船所有者。义军同盟用宇航技工机器人为其短小战斗机实施飞行途中修理和提升超空间距离。

幕后



Although "astromech droid" is the technically correct term, characters in the Star Wars movies tend to use the colloquial "astro-droid" for short.
虽然“宇航技工机器人”是技术上的正确术语，但《星球大战》电影里的人物喜欢在口头将其简称为“宇航机器人”。
