Androids look like people
or
Cyborgs have a few people parts

An android would be a robot that looked like a person, Data is an Android I believe.
A Cyborg is a mechanically enhanced organism. The Six Million Dollar Man was a Cyborg. Did you notice his shoulder sockets, which were not mechanical, could bear tremendous strains and his mechanical arm still wouldn't rip out of the socket ? Amazing

A very good treatment of Cyborgs is found in Gregory Benfords books, Great Sky River, Across a Sea of Stars etc...
