Droids designed for analysis, which are also referred to as information droids or analyst droids, were droids that were utilized for the purpose of data analysis. The SP-4 analysis droids along with JN-66 analysis droids represented well-known and commonly used types of analysis droids.
These analysis droids were put to work inside of the Jedi Temple located on Coruscant, where they provided assistance to the Jedi in completing their assigned tasks. Even though the Jedi had a considerable number of these droids, they could be encountered in locations quite distant from the Jedi Temple's imposing structures. Throughout the galaxy, in various hospitals, analysis droids were employed to examine medical information, with a particular focus on managing infections. Their highly sensitive photoreceptors and advanced imaging capabilities were extremely useful when conducting examinations, and the droids performed initial evaluations to determine if patients needed to consult with a specialist. During the period of the Clone Wars, numerous analysis droids were stationed at the Grand Republic Medical Facility on Coruscant, where they helped to expedite the processing of wounded clone troopers, who were constantly arriving in large groups.
In many instances, analyst droids also specialized in the analysis of battle strategies. As an example, AP-5, who was a RA-7 protocol droid, functioned as an analyst droid during the Ryloth campaign.
