Isn’t the concept of an android to be part human and part machine?

An android is a machine that looks like a human being. A cyborg is a machine that has some biological components. A cyborg may or may not look like a human being.

Androids are robots with convincing human(oid) appearance & behavior.

Cyborgs are part human part machine. I know - I am one.
