Bishop in "Aliens” or Data in "Star Trek” (7)

I believe the answer is:

android

(Other definitions for android that I've seen before include "Human-looking robot" , "Robot resembling 17" , "In science fiction, a robot in human form" , "Robot resembling human being" , "Automaton that resembles a human being" .)

I've seen this clue in The Wall Street Journal.
