Android is a robot that resembles humans. The word is originally Greek, and means "Human like". The term was first introduced in 1270, and was used in the US patents starting in 1836, describing the humanlike toys.
Among all the android projects conducted all around the world, the most successful thus far is EveR-1 by Korea Institute for Industrial Technology, which is capable of imitating human facial expressions, and has vocabulary of about 400 words.
