Utility droid

Utility droids were the predecessors of astromech droids used around the time of the Jedi Civil War.

Overview
These small droids were very widespread during their prime, the common denominator "Utility droid" was actually used for a lot of different models that varied widely in form and function. Some of them, particularly the Duwani Mechanicals models, were at times referred as "Astromech droids"

Almost all were small in size, no bigger than one meter. Some models were used for advanced applied physics functions such as starship repair, astrogation and even computer slicing and programming.

Others performed more menial tasks such as janitorial duties and waste disposal.

They were equipped either with wheeled legs or small repulsorlift generators for movement.
