Mm-hmm. More specifically, artificial intelligence in a robot body. They range anywhere from little pods with accessory arms that roll around with very basic intelligence and next to no personality, to humanoids with emotions, learning capabilities, and programmed etiquette.
This one, I'm pretty sure, is one of the latter kind, a protocol droid. I actually own one back home. My uncle bought him for translating the moisture vaporators on our farm but he's proved useful in a lot of different ways.
[Hint #1 that Luke is excited: he's talking a lot. He kneels down and starts searching through the box of parts. He takes Kaylee's "Hmm" as simple pondering over the droid's function.]
This guy might be a big help around here, so why don't we see if we can get him up and running? Maybe he can tell us where he came from and who his last owner was. Sound like fun?
