Sometimes U.K

I’ve been watching a sci-fi series and am curious about the difference between:

A robot

An Android

A replicant

They all seem to be the same?

A robot is a machine.

An android is a robot made to look like a person.

A replicant is an android which is so human like it'd be difficult to know they were an android.

So what’s a Cyberman .. (oops, it’s is 2020 after all, we can assume gender or enforce the patriarchy...) .. So what’s a Cyberperson then?

Going by the latest version in Dr Who, a Cyberman (or woman) is a cyborg

A robot - a machine that looks like a machine, but obviously a machine.

An Android - a machine in human form, but obviously a machine (Robin William's Millennium Man)

A replicant - a machine in human form that looks human (blade runner)

Just my thoughts

Robocop is a cyborg (cybernetic organism).

That's a robot with organic parts or living tissue.

Sorry everyone!
