I just purchased a couple and they seem to follow you if you add them to your party. As far as activating them or seeing if they're activated I don't know that.
If they're in a box, you will need to move the box around or unpack them and add them to your party. Note that if you do the latter, they count against the passenger count of any entity you enter.

I dare you to make less sense.
Are you a newbie, or do you have access to newbies?
CP droids come activated, however, some of them aren't automatically assigned to you. So if you can't find them on your party list, check if you're the supervisor.
I'm going to interject into this discussion instead of creating a new one. In light of the new available CP droids, I have some questions...
I just picked up two CP droids. As of now in the game, what can they do? Can they only join my party and follow me around? Do they have a function in the game? How do you activate/deactivate or control them? I found out how to supervise/unsupervise them, but that is about all.
Adding them to your party - or leaving them somewhere - is about all you can do with any droids right now, Matheteis. Functions for droids should be coming up soon on the implementation list, after Items and/or NPCs, I believe.

So I am assuming that the breakdown computation is active for CP droids? (every 48 hours when left active over 24 hours-- since we cannot deactivate them).
Interesting. I just got a cp droid and put in my ship, where it seems to take up cargo volume as well as count as a passenger. Is that a bug or is it suppose to count as both? I thought it was suppose to only count as cargo when it was deactivated and only count as a passenger when it's activated. I also have nothing else on my ship except for myself and the droid and couple of items I'm carrying, so I can't imagine where else the volume is coming from.
The breakdown computation is an ancient rule that has not been implemented, whether it will be or not is a different matter but I expect it will be replaced when maintance is looked at. Currently theres no chance of break down.
Droids should not count as cargo when there passengers, report it as a bug.
Would it be possible for a list of such ancient rules to be compiled, so that people don't have to worry as much about them? The Ship module section, droid breakdowns, and others, cause a lot of meaningless trouble.
I recently acquired some CP droids. At creation, some droids were assigned to me, some were not (probably because they were same type as ones already assigned to me ...??) I had to assign these droids to myself so I could add them to my party.
The droids also take up passenger slots on my ship, and take up cargo space.
Edit: It was just announced on Sim News that the assignment 'bug' has been fixed
