Well, there is ONE I can think of, (who ironically is more human personality wise than that other one that's posted from Ghost in the Shell) and she isn't even real at all. Nope. Gally here is entirely 'built' from scratch, not a human component at all... But I doubt such a thing is even feasible for at least 6 or more generations. The amount of storage capacity required for a robot to have the same capabilities of an actual living life form (she can actually dream when she shuts down to recharge for instance, think of it like a really powerful screensaver I guess, I don't recall exactly how it works)...Wow I don't even want to imagine the initial cost. And I'm sure they'd be far more delicate. Not because of a lack of sturdy yet light materials, but to prevent one from thinking it can erradicate everyone Terminator style, or building something like that on its own.

Who says the logic has to physically live on the gyndroid module? Control it from a room stuffed with a Beowulf cluster.
