Purely biological robots, these are actually also living beings. There are a large number of different forms that are at sophont level, including Synthetic Humans and Erotibots. They sometimes suffer from paranoia and persecution by ignorant nearbaselines and mostly live in their own enclaves. Maybe two hundred trillion sophonts can be included in this category.
