Eyebot

An Eyebot is a robot that appears throughout the Fallout series.

Background
Created by RobCo Industries, the Eyebot is a hovering robot designed for a variety of purposes. It was designed for giving consumers instant access to radio and television on the go. It uses a sophisticated antenna array to deliver the latest news bulletins and presidential addresses. It was also outfitted with advanced facial and auditory recognition technology, making it a useful tool for surveillance and security. RALPHIE the Robot's Incredible Odyssey! was a pre-War broadcast about RALPHIE, an eyebot.

The Enclave attempted to create a line of superior Duraframe Eyebots at Adams Air Force Base. Discontent with the speed of the project's development, Colonel Autumn ordered the project to be hastened by Dr. Grant. After a confrontation between Dr. Whitley and Dr. Grant, the project's assets were transferred to the development of Hellfire armor.

In protest, Whitley sent ED-E, a functional prototype on a journey to the Navarro outpost. Along with an audio log intended for Navarro scientists, Whitley included several databanks on the machine, representing the sum of the results of his research on the Duraframe Eyebots along with research into Poseidon Energy and the company's projects in the Mojave area.

The Duraframe model is resilient, as when ED-E is struck by a .308 round, the Courier notes that would have destroyed most robots of the same size. Arcade Gannon mentions that the robot lives up to its model name, having successfully traveled over 2,000 miles. Should ED-E be repaired and activated, the information has the potential to allow the Mojave Brotherhood of Steel to create their own army of Duraframe Eyebots. 

Floating eye bot


These hovering, taser-equipped robots were mostly used as a sentry for important areas in vital facilities, such as the Sierra Army Depot VI. 

Eyebot


Used by the Enclave on the East Coast for broadcasting the Enclave Radio, which consists of propaganda, presidential speeches, and patriotic marching music for the people of the Capital Wasteland.

Eyebot duraframe subject E


The eyebot duraframe subject E (also known as ED-E) is an Enclave eyebot built by Whitley at Adams Air Force Base. ED-E is a prototype "Duraframe" model. Eyebot production was scrapped in favor of Hellfire armor, and ED-E became the last surviving model. Whitley uploaded data on Poseidon Energy and his duraframe research into ED-E's logs, then dispatched it on a cross-country journey to Navarro.

Eyebot duraframe subject E (clone)


This Eyebot is found at the start of the Lonesome Road add on, in the Hopeville silo bunker. It stays with the character throughout and is necessary to progress, opening doors and also commissary terminals for the Courier. Once upgraded (see Camarader-E) his upgrades are sent to the original ED-E in the Mojave. He also has an onboard workbench and reloading bench.

Prototype eyebot


The model for this eyebot is found inside the REPCONN headquarters building, just past the first few rooms of displays, and is not operational. It is accompanied by a prototype Mister Handy model, experimental Protectron model, and a prototype variant of the sentry bot.

Medical eyebot


Medical eyebots appear in the battle against Ulysses, and will constantly heal the damage the player deals to him. Only seen in the Divide, after being destroyed they will continually respawn unless the player manually shuts them off.

Repair eyebot


Repair eyebots appear in several nuclear silos spread out across the Divide. After being destroyed they will continually respawn unless the player manually shuts them off.

Eyebomb


Summoned by the Imposter Sheepsquatch during Event: Encryptid, the Eyebomb is painted black and red and explodes within proximity to those who attack it or the Assaultron.

Servomech eyebot


Found only in the Commonwealth, created by The Mechanist, the servomech eyebot's purpose was to spread the Mechanist's message of peace and protection.

Brotherhood Outcast eyebot
There are textures for an Outcast version (but not a model or unused GECK creature) and textureless models for U.S. Army, Brotherhood, and Enclave versions (the model used in-game is the generic version, not Enclave).

Sunset Sarsaparilla eyebot
This unused Eyebot (Form ID 0010470A) was intended to be a sentry alarm, within the Sunset Sarsaparilla headquarters and warehouse.

Broken eyebot


An unused eyebot, similar in appearance to the destroyed eyebot.

Behind the scenes
Joshua Sawyer stated that Duraframe is a model type, not a specific material.
