Android

Androids, also called robots, are advanced machines typically resembling humans that are designed to carry out specific tasks, and able to replicate certain human movements and functions automatically. While still artificial, they are less advanced than synthetic androids, both in artificial intelligence and intricacy. Standard androids are made up of much more metal than their synthetic counterparts, but still regularly possess some form of artificially intelligent programming within their CPU, allowing them to process any and all stimuli, change their mood, think of new ideas, and carry out other human-like capabilities.  

Build and Appearance

Androids typically possess at least a vaguely-humanoid shape, although they would never be mistaken for humans like their synthetic counterparts. Androids are usually externally made of metal or plastic, looking more like a machine in the shape of a human. Androids also have a far more varied appearance than either species; their exact appearance and structure depends entirely on their purpose. An android designed for the service industry might be shaped identically to a human, whereas one designed for factory labor might have an unatturally huge frame littered with powerful hydraulics. This variety persists internally, as a robot designed for factory labor might have a rudamentary intelligence program, whereas the service industry android would likely possess a much more complex intelligence program to allow for more friendly and natural interactions.   Many androids possess a level of intelligence that even leads some humans to perceive a real consciousness within the androids, as do all synthetics. However, many still believe that artifical intelligence, however advanced, is never comparable to true consciousness, as it will always be electrical impulses sent through a series of wires mimicking human emotion.  

Society and Culture

Androids always exist in the shadow of humans, as they were designed specifically to serve them. Where synthetic androids are sometimes purchased solely to be part of a family, androids are essentially always purchased and designed to serve. Thanks to this fact, android society and culture doesn't truly exist.
