===Alleviating dysphoria===
Due to species dysphoria, many robot-identified individuals come up with unique ways to alleviate some of it. Covering skin with long sleeve shirts, gloves, and masks can help with presenting as a robot, as well as using more neutral colors such as black, white and gray. Online voice changer programs such as [https://www.voicemod.net/ Voicemod], [https://clownfish-translator.com/voicechanger/ Clownfish] and [https://www.nchsoftware.com/voicechanger/index.html Voxal] have a variety of presets and customization that allow for a more robotic sounding voice, which can provide euphoria. Many also opt to use more robot-friendly language in place of the typical human language (words such as sleeping will become recharging). Others often use pronouns such a it/its and bit/bits to aid in feeling robotic. Working with technology, such as phones, computers and electronics may also help such individuals feels more in tune with their robot selves.
==Labels==
There are many labels within the artificial identity umbrella.
{{main|Machinekin}}
*Robotkin▼
Machinekin is an umbrella term that includes all machine-related kins, such as robotkin, androidkin, AIkin, fictionkin and cybertroniankin.
{{main|Robotkin}}
*Robotgender▼
Robotkin is a kin identity under the [[Wikipedia:Otherkin|Otherkin]] umbrella wherein one identifies as a robot and often believe themselves to be spiritually nonhuman or in a non-physical way, such as through reincarnation or psychologically. Robotkin have often been excluded from the greater otherkin community due to the belief that one cannot identify as something without a soul, classing robots as something without a soul. However, this belief has been challenged both by the greater scientific community, which has disputed the existence of the soul, and by many animist belief systems that do not hold souls to be exclusive to organic life. This idea additionally excludes fictionkin, plantkin and voidkin identities, among others.
*Nonhuman ▼
{{main|Robotgender}}
Robotgender is a gender identity where one feels their gender is heavily connected to robots and machines. While there is some slight overlap with robotkin, both have differences that set them apart. A person who identifies as robotgender does not necessarily identify as a robot and inversely, a robot does not have to identify as robotgender; though they can be both.
{{main|Nonhuman}}
Nonhuman is a catchall label to describe many identities outside of typical human ones. Some robot-identified individuals may choose to just call themselves a robot, rather than the labels above. They may not spiritually believe themselves to be a robot, but believe they might become a robot in the near future.
===Plurality===
{{main|Plurality}}
Plurality is a term used to describe individuals that inhabit a single body. Many plural people have robots and machines incorporated into their systems, as well as non-robots. These different individuals are often called headmates, systemmates and alters.
