- New Albion is a human colony, in which almost all
- near-human work is done by humans.
- 00:50
- Naturally, we have complex standalone and assistive
- machines such as for vertical farming and surgery.
- 00:59
- However, there are no non-toy machines changing
- 01:02
- location under their own power unattended
- inside the habitat.
- 01:08
- New Albion's heavy mining, processing, and
- construction equipment is largely automated and
- 01:15
- works mostly unattended under onboard power.
- 01:19
- These heavy automated machines
- - arguably "robots" -
- 01:23
- are almost always outside on the Martian surface.
- 01:27
- The only place humans and mobile robots are
- in proximity is in the industrial zones
- 01:33
- between the lived-in Ways and
- the Martian surface.

- At New Albion we think it's odd Earth
- *doesn't* have 'human reservations'.
