I've been reading through some of the books recently and I realized I haven't seen anything about robot characters. I don't remember any in Cyberpunk 2077 either. Is there any established lore for androids?

Games with cyber psychosis tend not to have androids, as they blunt the impact of exploring the stories of people who replace more and more of themselves with cyberware and lose their humanity as they do it.

So the androids that have existed in the various version of cyberpunk over the years have all been some variant of replacing your body with chrome, whilst leaving at least some part of your original brain behind to drive it.

Huh. Now you mention it, I don't remember seeing androids in Shadowrun either.
