An android is a robot designed to resemble a human being. Androids are common features of science fiction stories.

Reasons for building an android

  • Humans or humanoid aliens may be more comfortable interacting with a humanoid robot than an extremely "mechanical" robot.
  • An android can use equipment designed for humanoids, giving it versatility.
  • The android's purpose requires it to be disguised as a human or humanoid.
