2JTJ personal navigation droid

The 2JTJ Personal Navigation Droid, designed by Genetech, is a personal aide designed to assisst the newly sightless. In an year, 80% of all 2JTJ droids are sold to hospitals and rehab centers. Doctors employ these 2JTJ droids to work with patients who have recently lost their sight to accident or disease. They also help with those who have cyborg optic implants, but find it difficult to make the transition to digitized vision. The other 20% of 2JTJ droids are bought by private individuals who usually live alone and need a helping hand once in a while.

Genetech has slowly grown the market for the 2JTJ b advertising the model to non-humans. For example, the Miraluka a near human species born without functional eyes, have used the droid to make trips to Coruscant. Without eyes the Miraluka use their sense of smell and sound, and they find Coruscant a bombardment of their senses.

The 2JTJ uses many features of a standard protocol droid. SOme of these include a silvery humanoid frame and an advanced personality program. It head has many additional sensor nodes that enable the droid to make infrared scans, project radar sweeps, generate echolocating pings, and fire invisible, low power lasers to measure distances. The droid also has extra-long arms to help its master in case they stumble.

These droids also make very capable chauffeur and can find the most direct route to any destination with its automapping software. Also, when traveling on foot the droid recites any obstacles appearing in the master's path. Sometimes though the droid is a little too helpful. In the case with Jedi Master Tahl the droid mentioned every root and leaf in the way of the Jedi.

The droid can receive either feminine or masculine programming at the owner's request. Although either one of these creates a personality that is annoyingly perky. The droid's good cheer and happiness can be somewhat annoying when a patient is still working through the stressfulness of losing their sight.
