<P> An android is a humanoid robot or synthetic organism designed to resemble a human, especially one with a body with a flesh - like look . Historically, androids were completely within the domain of science fiction and frequently seen in film and television, but recent advances in robot technology now allow the design of functional and realistic humanoid robots . </P> <P> The word was coined from the Greek root ἀνδρ -, "man" (male, as opposed to anthrop -, human being) and the suffix - oid, "having the form or likeness of". In Greek, however, ανδροειδής is an adjective . While the term "android" is used in reference to human - looking robots in general, a robot with a female appearance can also be referred to as a "gynoid". </P>
