| In gynoid related fiction and media, an android is typically a robot which looks as close to a human as possible, with skin, hair, and proper male or female anatomies. A male can be referred to as an android while a female can to as a gynoid, though the term android is usually understood to apply to all genders. This differentiates them from robots, which may crudely resemble males or females, but with metal skin or appendages, and an overall mechanical appearance.
