An android was a humanoid robot — or, as the Tenth Doctor once explained to Martha, a "humanoid automaton". (NSA: The Last Dodo) Examples included Kamelion (in his natural form) (DW: The King's Demons) and the K1 robot (DW: Robot). By the 51st century androids indistinguishable from humans were common, and River Song claimed to have dated several. She said they were "rubbish". (DW: Silence in the Library)

Although the term "android" was often used for robots of both genders, a female android was technically called a gynoid, and they were referred to as such on occasion. (NA: Christmas on a Rational Planet)
