Machines with humanoid form of the body were created, at first, for the job, where the full traansition to mechanized labor is difficult or unacceptable for any reasons.

UN Resolution 1679/256 establishes the classification of anthropomorphic machines and their legal status. This resolution is binding on all subordinate planetary formations and arcologies.
For deep space it's mandatory with some exceptions and only if the interests of the organization are affected.
Androids are humanoid machines designed to perform work of one particular category, having a level of consciousness not higher than the third grade. Available for private ownership and use.
At the time of 2336, androids that have a consciousness level of 1 and 2 are no longer produced.
Comic examples: medical bots in intensive therapy department - ZMA..., slutbots on this page (6th panel) - XXAM...
Synthetics - human-like machines designed to perform a wide range of work, having a level of consciousness of the fourth to sixth grade.
They are not objects of ownership, their activity is regulated in the framework of the aforementioned resolution and local by-laws.
Comic examples:
5th level/grade: 3 synth-sluts on 10th panel
6th level/grade: Norn
Shells are humanoid machines designed for body prosthetics and technically capable of supporting the consciousness of the sixth grade. Designed exclusively for private ownership and use. In the process of work, they have the same civil rights as the owner.
