List of fictional gynoids
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
This list of fictional gynoids is sorted by media genre and alphabetised by character name or media title. Gynoids are humanoid robots that are gendered to be perceived as feminine or to mimic the bodily appearance of human women. They appear widely in science fiction film and art. They are also known as female androids, female robots or fembots, although some media have used other terms such as robotess, cyberdoll or "skin-job". Although there are a variety of gynoids across genres, this list excludes female cyborgs (e.g. Seven of Nine in Star Trek: Voyager), non-humanoid robots (e.g. EVE from Wall-E), virtual female characters (Dot Matrix and women from the cartoon ReBoot, Simone from Simone (2002 film), Samantha from Her), holograms (Hatsune Miku in concert, Cortana from Halo), non-robotic haunted dolls, and general Artificial intelligence network systems (SAL 9000, GLaDOS from Portal). Gynoids for Japanese manga and anime are grouped separately.
