Silmani Corporation

The Silmani Corporation is a renowned robotics firm and significant group involved in the story Long Arm of the Gnaw. The Silmani Corporation is known for various improvements and pioneering into the field of robotics. They have also championed various efforts to utilize robotics within humanitarian efforts, and many of their neighboring corporations have adamantly opposed their decisions.

History
The Silmani Corporation was headed by Lisa Silmani, Rosa Silmani's mother. The corporation steadily gained influence within the field of robotics with the help of Lisa's research, culminating into explosive success with her introduction and implementation of mobile robotics. Since then, the Silmani Corporation has been considered one of the most successful robotics firms in the world due to their rapid achievements in robotic technology.

Uncertainty in Leadership
In the story Long Arm of the Gnaw, Lisa Silmani is killed due to unknown but bizarre circumstances. The only two people able to obtain leadership is Rosa Silmani and her brother, Frederick Silmani. Since Rosa is adamant in pursuing her field in detective work, the burden lies with Frederick, who not many people consider a capable leader, and also unknown in the field of robotics. Rosa has vetted Frederick as a capable scientist and expert but his self-doubt prevents him from willingly accepting leadership of the Silmani Corporation.

Notable Achievements

 * Indirectly, the creation of Reginald is contributed to Lisa's success. Many robotics experts cite him as a formidable implementation of robotics into investigation work done by detectives, most notably Rosa.
 * Numerous improvements to public and business sectors are attributed to the Silmani Corporation. Mobile robotics have allowed access to automatic janitors to pick up trash by wayward civilians. This improvement also bought the issue of self-responsibility in society, as many people began intentionally littering, expecting robotic janitors to clean up after them. The Silmani Corporation in turn promoted an effort to address the issue, and had done so successfully by working with government to implement rules for certain abusive behavior.
 * Numerous charity and humanitarian efforts. The Silmani Corporation's address with their robotic janitors was but the first step to their works beyond robotics. Many neighboring robotics corporations opposed their position, but the Silmani Corporation's efforts remained undaunted. The public responded kindly to the decision and several successful humanitarian efforts, such as automatic public showering facilities in third-world countries, held positive reaction.
