Androids are pure machines with a human like appearance though. She's the same as #16. So she is an android; robot is a grossly broad term being that it can be applied to anything from a car to a high end pc. As all it is, is a programmable machine.

I understand that is just the term that is used in this series.

It's more down to the fact that Akira Toriyama doesn't actually understand terms properly himself.
