Andrew Martin, aged 200.
Andrew Martin was originally an NDR-series positronic Robot produced by U.S. Robots and Mechanical Men[Note 1] and purchased by the Martin family to act as a domestic servant.
Over the course of his 200-years existence, he developed a unique personality and managed to become more and more human-like, both intellectually and physically, thanks in part to technological advances that he himself contributed to.
Andrew's quest to achieve more legal rights for Robots was influential, although very controversial, and had complex social repercussions. At the end of his life, he was legally acknowledged as a member of the human race in the bicentennial anniversary of his fabrication.
