I’d imagine the LFA has a similar outlook on life.

He was a robot, not an android. All mechanical but with an artificial personality and the brain the size of a planet (metaphorically).

So I got curious and looked it up and apparently androids just have to be humanlike and don’t have to incorporate any human or organic parts or thoughts. However, in contemporary usage androids are either robots with organic or pseudo-organic parts (including robots with human consciousness or brains).
Describing Marvin as an android is technically correct (the best kind).

although I do agree with you, I would technically describe him as a robot, not an android by more accepted terminology. obviously the android designation is simply to rhyme with his state of mind.
of course, technically both are correct:
The word was coined from the Greek root - andr -, “man” (male, as opposed to - anthrp -, human being) and the suffix -oid , “having the form or likeness of”. [6] In Greek, however, is an adjective. While the term “android” is used in reference to human-looking robots in general, a robot with a female appearance can also be referred to as a “ gynoid ”.
The word robot was introduced to the public by the Czech interwar writer Karel apek in his play R.U.R. (Rossum’s Universal Robots) , published in 1920. [72] The play begins in a factory that uses a chemical substitute for protoplasm to manufacture living, simplified people called robots. The play does not focus in detail on the technology behind the creation of these living creatures, but in their appearance they prefigure modern ideas of androids , creatures who can be mistaken for humans.
