androids
Artificial humanoid machines
Androids are robots designed to resemble humans.
The term comes from a Greek word meaning "manlike" and appears most often in science fiction, where androids range from obviously mechanical to indistinguishable from real people.
Unlike robot, which can describe any automated machine, android specifically implies humanoid form: The android passed for human until it was damaged.
In technology contexts, Android (capitalized) is Google's mobile operating system.
