Definition time; Android as in human-like synthetic creation of man,
intelligent, capable of learning, independent etc...
To my knowledge, there are none. The closest are either the cybermancy
created people (though they're closer to cyborg) or the (rumoured) super AIs
in the matrix. The AIs sort of count, as if they found a cybernetic body
out of the matrix, they could control it, but would not be independent, as
they wouldn't be able to download their intelligence to it and leave the
matrix.
