sentient android
Aware artificial humanoid
A sentient android is a humanoid robot possessing consciousness and self-awareness—a staple of science fiction that raises philosophical questions about what constitutes a person.
The term combines sentient (capable of feeling and perception) with android (a robot designed to resemble a human): The sentient android demanded the same rights as its creators.
Whether machines could ever truly achieve sentience remains debated.
