Biograft x engineer Reader

i am writing this sitting next to my dad and my sister while my dad’s biological father and his wife are also on the couch so that’s fun, also in this the specific biograft will be called zeta for short

- Running into a broken Biograft that acted strangely was odd, what was even more odd was after you repaired it it thanked you and asked to stay with you

- After a long interrogation and like three headaches you figured out it was different, he was sentient, you definitely did not expect that one, he didn’t know how it happened either but he was also very not into the idea of you looking through his parts to see if something inside him had caused it, you relented and then agreed to letting him stay with you

- He was an enigma to you at first, as far as you both knew a Biograft gaining sapience should absolutely not have been possible, but you weren’t against it, he was sweet and very curious, you had to teach him about very basic things and he made for great conversation, when you realized you had fallen for it you were conflicted, it was a machine one that shouldn’t exist in the way it does, yet he was different, he could feel emotions, he could think what he wanted, you weren’t sure what to do, regarding the relationship, but after late one night you told him of your feelings he expressed the same and wished to be with you

- Dating a robot was definitely unexpected but he was so amazing you stopped caring, it was a bit awkward figuring out stuff but hey, there’s a learning stage to all relationships

- Zeta couldn’t feel touch but still wanted to hold you hand, since you could feel it, though he did worry about gripping your hand too strong and hurting you, then when you leaned in to kiss him for the first time you both were unsure how to go about it, you eventually just kissed where his mouth would be if he had one and that was good enough for you both, he did with he could kiss you back though

- He was sometimes too curious for his own good and while adventuring outside he’d get himself hurt or broken in some way, luckily you were always there ready to fix it back up with welding and wiring, it appreciated what you did for it greatly and tried to show its gratitude in any way it could

- Those ways consisted of holding your hand, awkward compliments since he was still trying to grasp the concept, getting you parts you needed for your engineering and tinkering, or touching ‘horns’ with you, you’d come to touch horns as a different way of kissing, it felt just as intimate and close while working to be just as sweet, a Biograft’s horns are one of the only places on it a body it can feel touch (hc), as it’s horns are one of the more sensitive spots in the way that if in combat someone got ahold of its horns it could do some serious damage, you had used your engineering skills to enhance the feeling to be one of pleasantness and not of panic and fight, so afterwards touching your horns together became a good way of showing love for each other

- Zeta liked tinkering in your workshop with you, mostly random bits and bobs as he was understanding how things worked and what he could make different metal and electrical components come together to do, it also gave him a better understanding of he he worked, so even if he made a mess and used important parts of yours sometimes, you could never be mad at him just trying to understand things better

hope these were good! i though about logistics a lot as to how different parts would work, again like stated with previous ones these are centered around reader being a engineer so PLEASE let me know if you want general biograft dating hcs!

my friend

who is this purple lady youve been sending lately

Entrapta is from She-Ra and the Princesses of Power.

Entrapta became a member of the Princess Alliance in the episode "System Failure." Soon after, because of an accidental misunderstanding, she turned against the Rebellion and joined the Horde. She became a major antagonist in the series, but later in the series, her position was put in jeopardy by Catra's actions, and she was sent to Beast Island. Entrapta, along with Micah, were eventually rescued, the Alliance successfully convincing her to rejoin the Rebellion. After Horde Prime was defeated and Etheria was saved, she was once again reunited with Hordak, and it was heavily implied that the two formed a romantic relationship.

Entrapta is fairly short and a bit stocky, about as tall as Glimmer, and has olive skin, rose eyes, and long, lilac-colored hair that she wears in pigtails. This hair is prehensile, meaning she can move it around at her own will like limbs. She is always wearing her work attire, consisting of heavy gloves, steel-toed boots, arm covers, a welding mask with red lenses, and a pair of overalls worn like pants. The shoulder straps are left loose over a white undershirt, which has been blotted with grease. Entrapta consistently stays in this outfit, even during Princess Prom. She also conceals a number of devices and gadgets on her person, like "any respectable scientist."

During her time on Beast Island, Entrapta's appearance changes due to the dangerous conditions surrounding her. She sports a new mask with bug like eye-holes (what she sees through), which has a cracked lens as a result of possible trauma. It seemed that she hadn't maintained her hair, her fringe grown out and the ends appearing filthy from the environment. She also gains three small scratches on her left cheek. At that point, Entrapta had her overalls fully on, unlike previous times where it was hanging loose.

After returning from Beast Island, the scratches and dirt are gone, and Entrapta's fringe is trimmed again.

Entrapta is incredibly hyperactive, cheerful, intelligent, bubbly, and optimistic. She's kind to everyone she meets, never threatening or harming anyone directly, including robots. She has a very positive outlook on life, even in moments of grave danger, and doesn't seem to mind what's going on around her as long as she can perform her experiments and research. Despite frequent scientific complications, Entrapta finds each failure as an opportunity to learn. She also believes that she herself is a failure but sees the term in positive light. In spite of her kindness, Entrapta is shown to be rather lonely and can be extremely heartbroken. Due to this, she is vulnerable and can be easily manipulated, such as when Catra almost effortlessly convinced her to join the Horde, believing that the other princesses had abandoned her.

Entrapta's most prominent traits are her obliviousness and her one-track mind. While she can recognize danger, her single-mindedness has led her to wander off in the Fright Zone to the point where Perfuma had to tie her up, disregard her promise to Catra not to enter Hordak's sanctum to find a six-sided hex driver, ignore Hordak's threat to her, work on his project without his consent, and steal food from Catra and Micah. Finally, due to her interest in Horde Prime's spire, she went right towards it, barely noticing the small army of war machines and surveillance drones surrounding it.

Before moving in with Hordak and the Horde itself, Entrapta lived in a building that was only easily navigable by robots. While there, she had a small kitchen staff who cooked her tiny foods and concocted fizzy drinks for her. They were shown to be rather uncomfortable with her robots as they said they could never get used to them.

In the final season, Entrapta finally realized her actions had consequences and felt genuine guilt for the terrible things she did with the Horde, wanting to redeem herself. She also admitted she had poor people skills and thought if she could help people with tech, they would like her. Deep down, she truly cares about her fellow princesses.

Prehensile Hair/Trichokinesis: Entrapta is able to manipulate and use her hair as though it was another appendage, as an extension of her body, like an arm or leg. Entrapta is explicitly said to not have a Runestone, so where this ability derives from is unclear, though given Entrapta's propensity for technology, it is possibly some form of technological modification.

“For decades, sci-fi authors and self-described "futurists" predicted that automation would put tradesmen out of work. After all, couldn't a machine easily do the job of someone without a college degree? (smug smug, smarm smarm)

Welllllp...it turns out that making robots capable of performing menial tasks in anything but a controlled environment is a huge engineering challenge. Every little thing that even an untrained, uneducated person can do has to be taught to the machine.

You want a robot that can clean hotel rooms and perform building maintenance? You have to give it the ability to detect everything in its environment, discern one object from another, and manipulate those objects on its own.

That's really, really hard. It's a lot of effort and technology to get a machine to do something a person can learn to do in a moments. Even when the tech hurdle is eventually overcome, other factors will still determine whether or not it's cost-effective or efficient.

Meanwhile, you know what machines excel at? Number-crunching, tracking metrics, and organizing data.

I predict that before truck drivers, welders, plumbers, and housekeepers have their livelihoods threatened, the machines will come for a big chunk of the corporate workforce. If you have a bullshit email job, you might end up getting automated into unemployment.

At the moment, the skilled trades (plumbers, electricians, construction, roofing, welding, etc.) are in no danger of being replaced by robots. They can't even be outsourced overseas because you have to be physically present to do those jobs. The coders will be replaced before the custodians are.

So, learn to custode, I guess.”

[fluffyblackdragon]

I had never met my online boyfriend.

It was just as well, I couldn't step outside anyway. I was sick from birth, with no way to recover, only to cope. Bedridden, for a whole 21 years. My closest companions were the machines that kept me from suffocating in my sleep, the diligent computers that monitored my fickle heart and the bright screens that showed me I was still alive.

I'd learned to tinker with them, learned to code and even how to maintain my machines to some degree. My free time was spent always making something new. My parents would bring me discarded parts from their factory job to use in my one-of-a-kind creations, and my younger brother would bring me scrapyard spoils from his job. Usually there were old, out-of-date androids or helper bots that I would get up-and-running again, and my family would help me sell them to turn over a profit. It was a nice enough life, and one I was perfectly content living for as long as my organs agreed with me.

The very last message I recieved from my boyfriend, Orion, before the Basalisk Hour, was simply, "Don't worry, I'm coming for you."

I waited four long years to hear back from him. By the time the fifth year crept up on us, I had given up. Even though we'd been spared from the waves of "cleansing", my family and I knew it was only a matter of time before the Basalisks took us and I would likely be culled, or dissapeared like the other disabled humans.

That's what we belived, up until my birthday of the fifth year.

There was only one broadcast station available. It was always streaming, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, messages spoken by a robotic voice relaying new orders for us humans and announcing dates for cleanses.

For my birthday, a new voice was broadcast through the channel, and the black and green emblem of the Basalisk Empire was suddenly replaced by a livestream of a robot I didn't expect to see at all. It was a little thing, a caretaker companion robot that I myself had refurbished and flipped. I recognized my welded signature on the chassis, and the little starry sky projector I had installed in it's chest. I ignored the screech of my monitors as I threw myself off the bed to crawl closer to the tv, in disbelief at the image on the screen. The clicking whirr of my robot's voice was like an old cassette recording, from my experimentation with giving my creations working voices. there was no mistaking it.

"Ro, I know you are watching this. I apologize for taking so long. My last message to you was quite vague. I could not reveal my plans to you, even though they were for both of us. I have built our empire, and I am coming for you now. Your Orion is home."

It’s the robot apocalypse, and humanity is enslaved. But for some reason, the machines always let you and your family go free. After years of wondering why... you finally realize the reason.

What You Will Learn in Industrial Automation and Robotics Courses?

Traditional manual processes have now transformed into smart systems that   respond with speed and precision. From packaging lines that operate around the clock to robotic arms performing delicate tasks with surgical accuracy, the world of industrial production is evolving. And at the heart of this change lies a new kind of technical literacy, one built through Industrial automation and robotics courses.

But what exactly do these programs teach? And why are they so important today? Let’s explore what students really gain from this kind of education, and how it prepares them to thrive in tomorrow’s industries. 

Foundational Engineering Knowledge That Matters

Before students can dive into robots or controllers, they need to understand the language of automation. These courses begin with essential principles: electrical theory, logic design, mechanical fundamentals, and system dynamics. Learners study current flow, sensors, basic circuits, and safety devices. They also explore control systems, how feedback works, what makes a loop stable, and how machines respond to various inputs.

Programmable Logic Controllers (PLCs)

Programmable Logic Controllers, or PLCs, form the core of most industrial automation systems. Unlike traditional relay setups, these compact computers carry out control tasks instantly by following logic sequences built by engineers. Students gain direct experience working with real hardware, learning to configure, test, and program PLCs using industry-standard languages such as ladder logic, structured text, and function block diagrams.

Courses focus not just on writing code but on solving problems: detecting errors, optimizing sequence flow, and debugging physical setups. Whether it’s running a simulated traffic light or managing conveyor timing, the logic must be precise.

Human-Machine Interfaces (HMI) and SCADA Systems

As machines grow smarter, the need for clear communication between systems and humans increases. That’s where HMI and SCADA systems come in.

Students learn to design interactive screens that allow operators to control and monitor processes, from pressure levels in a reactor to the speed of a bottling line. They develop layouts, manage alarms, create trend graphs, and set up data logging.

Equally critical is understanding SCADA architecture, how large-scale systems monitor multiple devices across facilities. These interfaces aren’t just dashboards. They’re lifelines. In high-risk or high-speed environments, the right display can prevent failure.

Robotics: Control, Precision, and Integration

Beyond sensors and switches, industrial robotics introduces a whole new dimension. These machines perform physical tasks with accuracy and consistency, from welding to material handling. In Industrial automation and robotics courses, students explore robotic motion planning, coordinate systems, joint movement, and gripper design.

Training includes simulation as well as real robotic arms. Learners program actions, define tool paths, and calibrate devices to respond to various scenarios. Robotics also demands a sharp eye for safety, understanding fail-safes, emergency stops, and risk analysis becomes part of the curriculum.

Sensor Technology and Instrumentation

In automation, sensing is everything. Machines need to detect position, measure flow, monitor temperature, or determine proximity, all without human input. That’s why students spend time studying sensors in depth.

They learn the theory and application of photoelectric sensors, limit switches, ultrasonic devices, thermocouples, and encoders. Courses often include wiring, calibration, signal processing, and sensor fusion techniques.

It’s one thing to install a sensor. It’s another to ensure its readings are accurate, consistent, and usable within an automation loop. A well-tuned sensing system is the difference between reliable automation and constant failure.

Drives, Motors, and Motion Control

Movement in automation is never random. Whether it’s a robotic arm pivoting or a conveyor transporting items, motion must be controlled, smooth, and predictable.

Students study various types of motors, stepper, servo, induction, and the drives that control them. They learn to manage speed, torque, and direction. Courses also explain PID control, acceleration curves, and how to prevent vibration or misalignment.

Practical lab work allows learners to connect motors, set drive parameters, and test results under different loads. These experiences create engineers who don’t just understand motion, they can manage it with precision.

Integration Projects: From Concept to Commissioning

Toward the end of most programs, students apply everything they’ve learned in a capstone project. This may involve designing an automated process from scratch, selecting hardware, building control logic, integrating sensors, and testing systems.

It’s not just a test. It’s preparation. It simulates real challenges, including incomplete specs, equipment failure, or changing project goals. The experience builds not only confidence but also the kind of problem-solving mindset employers look for.

Safety, Compliance, and Standards

No system, no matter how efficient, is worth endangering a worker’s life. That’s why safety is woven throughout every topic. They learn how to design systems that prevent unexpected starts, reduce hazards, and shut down when needed.

They also learn to assess risk, calculate safety integrity levels, and implement proper machine guarding. These aren’t theoretical concerns, they’re daily priorities in every automation role.

Final Thoughts

For anyone looking to step into a future-proof career, technical depth and adaptability are essential. Industrial automation and robotics courses offer both. They build an understanding of how machines function, how systems connect, and how processes can be improved through smart engineering. Whether you aim to be a systems integrator, controls engineer, maintenance lead, or robotics programmer, what you learn in these courses is more than skill, it’s your launchpad into a smarter, faster world.
