robot resembling a human, or in other uses specifically a human From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
An android robot, also known as a robotic android or simply a robot android, robotic droid, robot droid, robodroid or robod or an android or a droid , is a robot that looks very similar to humans.[1] In TV shows and movies, androids are usually represented by human actors without special effects, while robots are usually shown in clunky suits or in makeup.[2][3][4]
In real life, androids do exist — but they are inhuman and tend to look scary, falling into the uncanny valley.
