ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

Android (robot)

Android is a type of robot, but it's not like a robot you might expect from movies or cartoons. It looks like a human or some other type of creature. But instead of moving around, an android stands still and talks to you, like a real person (only it's not made from flesh and bones) and can understand and answer questions and even do some tasks. It can hear, speak, and interact just like a real person. Android robots are usually found in homes, businesses, and places where people need help with tasks such as answering phones, providing directions, or being a greeter in a store.
