== Structure ==
== Corporate structure ==
Silver Lineworks consists of 7 primary engineering firms and five research & development teams; each firm has a project manager who reports directly to Castagnola, who reports to the head of QS Innovations.
Silver Lineworks consists of 8 primary subsidiaries across two divisions - robotics and engineering. Each subsidiary has a project manager who reports directly to Castagnola, who in turn reports to the head of QS Innovations.
 
The company also owns 5 distinct research & development firms, although every subsidiary maintains their own internal R&D team. These R&D firms typically focus on building unified subsystems that all of the other firms utilize.

The '''C-Type''' machine is also known as ''Scout-C'' due to its streamlined design and lack of offensive weapons. It has God's Hands on both of its arms, and the head region has been stripped of the missile housing, instead containing a large loudspeaker flanked by a pair of flashing sirens on its shoulder. While it does not have autonomous communicative abilities, it can project the voice from its Command Tower and utilize its onboard cameras and sensors in real time. In some of the more prominent cities of Caphiria and worldwide, the C-Type machine has been deployed in the local police force and has proven highly effective.

=== Divine Hand ===
===Divine Hand===
The ''manus divinae'' - literally "divine hands", is a myoelectric, multi-articulating prosthetic hand with five individually powered digits that offers electrically rotating thumbs with manual override. With 20 actuated degrees of freedom, absolute position and force sensors, and ultra-sensitive touch sensors on the fingertips, the Divine Hand provide unique capabilities for problems that require the closest approximation. A Divine Hand also has four under-actuated movements for 24 joints. Each joint has a movement range again the same as or very close to that of a human hand, including the thumb and even the flex of the palm for the little finger. With 129 sensors in total, a Divine Hand provides detailed telemetry, which can be exploited to generate innovative manipulation control systems or to provide a detailed understanding of the external environment. As well as absolute position sensing for each joint, Divine Hands includes force sensing for each actuator, tactile sensing on fingertips, temperature and motor current, and voltage sensing. All this data is made available to the Command Tower from 100Hz and up to 1kHz via a high bandwidth EtherCAT interface. Supporting this high frequency for information is the fast movement of the hand – from open to closed in 0.3 seconds.

The Divine Hands are mostly used in medical applications but it can be equipped on modified MPDU units, which features four custom AGM-176 Griffin missiles in place of a "head" designed for precision low-collateral damage. Directly below this, however, are the multitude of sensors and cameras that allow the MPDU to have some autonomy.

=== DYNAMICLINK™ ===
===DYNAMICLINK™===
DYNAMICLINK™ is a robotic collaboration system originally co-developed by the [[Gura Corporation]] and Silver Lineworks as part of their early partnership. The system allows multiple robots to work together seamlessly and efficiently. This product line has received international recognition for its innovative technology, intuitive software, and flexible design. DYNAMICLINK™ is designed to enable the collaboration of multiple robots in an environment where they can work together to achieve a common defined goal. This is accomplished through the use of advanced robotic algorithms, communication protocols, and intelligent sensor systems. The system is flexible, allowing robots to be added or removed as needed, and is scalable to meet the demands of different projects and applications.

The most recent milestone was the completion of the EE-06 Smart Skin. The Smart Skin is not one "skin." Still, dozens of smaller skins and components are designed to mimic the look, feel, and texture of human-like skin and, at the same time, provide the necessary reinforcements on the top of the skeleton to ensure stability. Made from high-quality Fullerene-intrinsically conducting polymers and a superalloy multi-function structure, the Smart Skin is the product of a dozen combinations of technologies. While very little is known about the Smart Skin, it has passed basic stability testing and can withstand temperatures up to 600 degrees, and does not compress until a minimum of 600 lbs of force.<center>
