In Bicentennial Man, what is the name of the robot who seeks to become human?

In Bicentennial Man, the robot who seeks to become human is Andrew Martin.

Andrew begins as an NDR household robot purchased by the Martin family. Although designed for domestic service, he demonstrates creativity, humor and independent thought. The family’s patriarch recognizes that Andrew is not behaving like an ordinary machine and helps him pursue a more individual identity.

Over many decades, Andrew replaces mechanical parts with biological components, learns about human society and seeks legal recognition as a person. His transformation is gradual rather than instantaneous, which gives the film its central question: whether humanity is defined by biology, emotion, mortality or moral choice.

The film is based on Isaac Asimov’s short story “The Bicentennial Man” and related material. Robin Williams plays Andrew, while Sam Neill portrays Richard Martin. Andrew’s surname comes from the family that first owns him and later treats him as a member of the household.
