Robotics Expert (Fallout 4)

Robotics Expert is a perk in Fallout 4.

Effects
The perk allows for hacking robots at melee range, while undetected or in combat. Once hacked, the player character can power it off, on, or initiate a self-destruct sequence. Subsequent ranks allow giving a hacked robot more specific commands, and for them to act as temporary companions.

Additionally, with the Automatron add-on, the first two ranks of this perk are required to gain full access to all available robot construction options at the robot workbench.
