{{Quotation|Always a Pleasure to Serve You!|Mr. Handy billboard}}

'''Mister Handy''' (stylized as ''Mr. Handy'') is a multipurpose robot developed by [[General Atomics International]] before the [[Great War]] and refined in collaboration with [[RobCo Industries]]. It was an incredibly popular model, used by [[Federal government|government agencies]], [[List of companies|private companies]], and individual citizens across the [[United States of America|United States]].

==Background==
<section begin="Background" />
The first Mister Handy was introduced to the [[robot]]ics market in [[Fallout timeline#2037|2037]] by [[General Atomics International]], as a general purpose construction and maintenance unit. Used widely on both the [[United States of America|American]] and [[Mexico|Mexican]] markets (especially after the [[Mexico City]] earthquake of [[Fallout timeline#2042|2042]]), it was a rugged, reliable design. So reliable, in fact, that it only received one major hardware update in [[Fallout timeline#2039|2039]], to eliminate a bug causing interference in the operation of the multiple arms. The [[Calpower]] 238B nuclear power unit and self-maintenance modes were key to its success, ensuring each robot's longevity. To minimize maintenance overhead, each Mr. Handy was designed to perform its own nuclear fuel replacement and [[radiation]] cleansing, as well as carry out maintenance and repairs on other units (it was not possible for it to carry it out on itself).<ref name="MrHDD">[[Mr. Handy design document]]: "''The Mr. Handy series of robots was first brought to market in 2037 as a general construction and maintenance unit by General Atomics International. Primarily used in the United States and Mexico (where it was the leader in sales after the Mexico City quake of 2042), the Mr. Handy was a reliable robot. An early bug that caused interference in the operation of the multiple arms was fixed with a hardware update in 2039, with no major problems since then. A key selling feature is the nuclear power unit (a model 238B, licensed from Calpower) and self-maintenance modes. Multiple Mr. Handys are capable of keeping themselves in working condition and are also fully programmed to perform nuclear fuel replacements. Secondary programming handles radiation cleansing after refueling.

However, as rugged and reliable as the original Mr. Handy was, it was still a design rooted in the [[technology]] of the 2030s, with a compact computer brain that was incapable of learning or executing complex tasks without extensive programming. By the 2070s, it was an automaton surrounded by more advanced designs utilizing cutting edge neural networks. In order to maintain their market share, General Atomics entered into a joint venture with [[RobCo Industries]], combining its talent with General Atomics' experience in robotics.<ref>[[Museum of Technology terminals#Robotics Exhibits|Museum of Technology terminals; Museum Information, Robotics Exhibits]]: ''"The Museum of Technology is proud to be the home of some of the original prototypes in the Mr. Handy, Mr. Gutsy and Protectron robotics lines.

{{Gamearticle|FO1|FO2|link2=Mister Handy (Fallout)}}
<section begin="GAIBg" />The original General Atomics International Mr. Handy has the distinct, lumbering appearance with easily identifiable sub-assemblies. The barrel-like main body contains the [[Calpower]] 238B nuclear power unit (200 KW output with two year endurance; comparable to a [[truck]] engine) and eight rechargeable energy cells with a 270,000 KWS output, together with an integral mechanic toolset and the [[computer]] brain. The fully rotating head mounted on top houses the single eye and sensors, together with a spotlight and basic communicator with a cheap voice synthesizer, short range [[radio]], and communications jack. The two pods mounted on the sides of the main body each contain a 200 KW vectored-thrust ducted fan with ground-effect (GEV) skirts that allow the Mr Handy to hover in the air. Finally, each of the six arms mounted below the main body is strong enough to lift heavy loads, while retaining superior flexibility and coordination that allows the Mr. Handy to use all of them in any configuration with a negligible loss of performance. Each is actuated by motors contained within and contains nimble manipulators capable of tasks ranging from walking the [[dog]]<ref>[[Fallout intro|''Fallout'' intro]]</ref> to operating heavy weapons such as [[minigun]]s, [[flamer]]s, and [[plasma caster]]s.<ref>[[Fallout and Fallout 2 sprites|Animation frames in ''Fallout'' and ''Fallout 2'']].</ref> The entire robot weighs 450 kgs (~900 pounds), giving it an excellent power to weight ratio.<ref name="MrHDD" /><ref>Detailed description obtained by cross-referencing [[Mr. Handy design document|the design document]] with ''GURPS: Robots'' used to design it in the first place.</ref>

Although the robot's performance was hampered by its simple, computer brain, a large number of units remained in service as late as [[Fallout timeline#2077|2077]], 40 years after it entered the market. Although vulnerable to logic circuit failures, particularly in hazardous environments or without maintenance,<ref>[[GSTERM.MSG|Reactor Maintenance and Repair Robot control terminal]]: ''"{411}{}{The Logic Circuits failed. I wonder what that means.}"''<br/>''"{420}{}{Job-task location recognition inoperative. Unit not capable of recognizing movement locations at extended distances. Recommend: Move unit to intermediary locations as waypoints to final job-task location.}"''</ref> it was used in both [[List of companies|corporate]] and [[United States Armed Forces|military]] settings, including locations like the [[Los Angeles Vault|demonstration Vault]], [[Mariposa Military Base]], and [[Poseidon Oil Reactor № 5]]. Even the [[Enclave]] used a number of Mr. Handy units in conjunction with their [[Vertibird]] teams, usually for cargo hauling. It's a testament to GAI's design that one unit survived a crash-landing near [[Klamath|Klamath Falls]] relatively intact.<ref>Desert transaction near [[New Reno]] demonstrates the role of the Mr Handy in Enclave use, while the crash shows its resilience.</ref><section end="GAIBg" />

Although normal Mr. Handy models of this type were heavily vulnerable to [[Electromagnetic pulse]] damage, a specialized model of Mr. Handy known as the Mr. Handy NBS (Nuclear Blast Site), was equipped with vacuum tubes to prevent EMP damage, at the cost of being slower, yet tougher, as a result.<ref>[[Simple critters#Mr. Handy]]</ref>

Appearing only a few years after the original General Atomics prototype models,<ref>[[Watoga Emergency Services terminals#Report: Chief]]</ref> the next-generation Mister Handy is a radical departure from that of its ancestor, in keeping with its intended role as a domestic servant, rather than heavy-duty construction [[robot]].<ref>[[Fallout 4 loading screen hints|''Fallout 4'' loading screen hints]]: ''"Created by General Atomics International as a domestic servant robot, Mister Handy is equipped with tools that can be used as weapons, if the need arises."''</ref> However, the Mr. Handy is used for general maintenance and construction; its many hands come equipped with buzz saws, flamethrowers, and other construction tools that can easily serve as weapons. It is an extremely compact design: The spherical main body houses not just the nuclear<ref>[[Codsworth]]: ''"{{Tooltip|Sir|Male}}/{{Tooltip|Mum|Female}}, if I might bend your ear for a moment?"''<br/>The [[Sole Survivor]]: ''"Of course, go right ahead."''<br/>Codsworth: ''"So gracious, {{Tooltip|sir|Male}}/{{Tooltip|mum|Female}}!

The compact brain of the Mr. Handy is easily one of its most stunning features, theoretically capable of achieving true [[artificial intelligence]].<ref>[[Curie]] and [[Sawbones (Fallout 3)|Sawbones]]</ref> Special limiters are included in neural pathways responsible for learning to prevent such an occurrence. Behavior limiters act as a failsafe in case a Mister Handy or one of its derivatives gain knowledge beyond the scope of its programming.<ref>The [[Lone Wanderer]]: ''"Run a level two diagnostic on the medical subsystems."''<br/>[[Sawbones (Fallout 3)|Sawbones]]: ''"Command accepted.

However, in its rush to present the Army with a working model, General Atomics cut corners and the resulting personality had issues stemming from vague definitions used in programming its neural network.<ref>The [[Lone Wanderer]]: ''"I'd like to buy a robot."''<br/>[[Tinker Joe]]: ''"Of course you would, of course! Well, it just happens that I've got a beaut of a deal on this customized Gutsy. And it's not just "Mister" Gutsy - he's a full fledged sergeant! "Sergeant RL-3" to be precise, the pride of General Atomics International. {{Tooltip|Comes complete with a simulated personality unit, so he's good protection and good company, too!

But he seems to like you, so it'll be fine."''<br/>([[Tinker Joe's dialogue file]])</ref> The most notable of these was the fact that in the absence of orders, units defaulted to a patrol mode and attacked all unauthorized personnel with extreme violence, as per combat protocol Charlie Zulu 4.<ref>{{Color|Gray|<!-- Missing dialogue File -->MilitaryRobotTalk: "''Halt, intruder!

===[[Miss Nanny]]===
[[File:Fo4 Mr Handy.png|right|150px|A Miss Nanny]]
<section begin="MissNannyBG" />Miss Nanny is a new model launched by [[General Atomics International]] shortly before the [[Great War]],<ref>[[General Atomics factory terminals#Reminder, Attn. Ms. Hayes|General Atomics factory terminals; Receptionist Terminal, Reminder, Attn. Ms. Hayes]]: ''"With the launch of the new Ms. Nanny model, customers will be attempting to bring defective units to the factory for repairs. In this situation, please gently remind the customer that our warranty program agreement states that defective units must be shipped through the proper channels before being accepted for repairs.''<br/>''Customers may be frustrated, but assure them that customer satisfaction is the absolute priority of General Atomics.''<br/>''Also, take this opportunity to tell them about our new quality assurance wing that will minimize the amount of defective units that leave the factory floor in the first place.''<br/>''As a receptionist, you are the first face any of our clients see. Make sure it is a friendly one."''</ref> they were also a utility bot designed to care for and raise newborns; these were incredibly useful in the vaults as there were many children in need of care after the war. It's considered a female equivalent of the Mister Handy, due to its feminine voice and the use of a Handy shell, still bearing the brand logo.<ref>[[Fallout 4 loading screen hints|''Fallout 4'' loading screen hints]]: ''"The Miss Nanny robot was created by General Atomics International as the female equivalent of the Mister Handy. As such, it carries similar built-in armaments."''</ref><ref>[[Fallout 76 loading screen hints|''Fallout 76'' loading screen hints]]: ''"General Atomics International built the Miss Nanny robot as a female counterpart to the Mister Handy. Both are equally adept in their duties and feature the same interchangeable implements."''</ref> Its design focuses on caretaking tasks, intended for parents of [[child]]ren of all ages. The specialized programming of a Miss Nanny includes disciplinary and behavioral management skills (with an optional corporeal punishment mode that had to be manually turned on by parents), vocal tonality analysis routines allowing it to interpret the needs of its charges (even infants), and hazard detection matrices for childproofing rooms.<ref><!-- Nonsense, the file is there. Probably under some sort of "dialogue only" file or "radio" - perhaps under the Editor name for the quest - file name. -->[[General Atomics factory]] test area: "''Greetings, Unit 761. Welcome to the General Atomics Quality Assurance Department, where we assure your functionality is up to our high standards. We must run a few tests before returning you to your caregiving duties. Now please, proceed into the first test chamber. 
<br/>''First we must test your disciplinary and behavioral management skills. A quality assurance associate will be playing the role of your hypothetical charge, little Timmy. Little Timmy has broken a valuable vase while playing catch in the house. The vase was a family heirloom and is quite irreplacable. Please punish the the child accordingly.
<br/>''Fantastic. The appropriate punishment was separation of the child from any potential source of entertainment. And please remember: corporal punishment is strictly forbidden unless the user enables it in your configuration mode.   Please proceed into the second test chamber.
<br/>''A proper Ms. Nanny unit must be able to identify the needs of her charges. Please assess the state of the crying child and fufill its need. Correct. The child was hungry. Your vocal tonality analysis programming seems to be in working order. Please take this opportunity to reconfirm that any deprecated muffling procedures are not left in your programming.  Now please, proceed into the third testing chamber.
<br/>''We will now test your hazard detection matrices. Please childproof this environment by moving any hazardous object to where little hands cannot reach. Splendidly done. All potentially fatal objects have been put out of a child's reach. Please remember, children have a penchant for finding ways to harm themselves. They never are truly safe. Absolute diligence is required.  Congratulations! It appears you are fully functional and ready to return to service.  Please take a replacement fusion core from the safe in the hallway on your way out.''"
<br/>{{Small|'''Note:''' This is a transcript of a scene from DN050 General Atomics Factory Quest; no dialogue export is available for scenes}}</ref> However, the complexity of its neural network and programming made it a natural candidate for other related tasks, such as medical research.
