Droids made for analysis, which are also known as information droids or analyst droids, were droids that were utilized for the purpose of data analysis. Well-known models included the SP-4 analysis droids along with the JN-66 analysis droids.
These analysis droids were put to work inside the Jedi Temple located on Coruscant, giving assistance to the Jedi in completing their assigned tasks. Although the Jedi had many analysis droids, they could be encountered in locations far removed from the Jedi Temple's imposing walls. Throughout the galaxy, in hospitals, analysis droids were used to examine medical information, especially for managing infections. Their highly sensitive photoreceptors and imaging capabilities were extremely useful during examinations, and the droids conducted preliminary evaluations to ascertain if patients needed a consultation with a specialist. Throughout the time of the Clone Wars, numerous analysis droids performed duties in the Grand Republic Medical Facility on Coruscant, where they made the processing of wounded clone troopers more efficient, as these troopers were constantly arriving in large numbers.
Furthermore, analyst droids often specialized in the examination of combat strategy. AP-5 was a RA-7 protocol droid who functioned as an analyst droid during the Ryloth campaign.
