R2-series astromech droid

R2-series astromech droids, frequently called R2 units, were a widely successful line of astromech droids manufactured by Industrial Automaton. This line was the most successful of all the R-series models. These droids, standing approximately 1 meter tall, were easily identifiable by their signature domed head and were designed to execute a wide array of functions. The R2 series represented a significant achievement for Industrial Automaton, influencing the design of numerous subsequent astromech models, though none achieved the same level of popularity. A prime illustration of this model is R2-D2. Even though the R2 series saw use more than 100 years before the Clone Wars, they were still regarded as relatively modern during the Age of the Empire. C1-10P, a C1-series astromech droid, identified compassion as the biggest shortcoming in the programming of R2 units.
