Mechanical person (5)

I believe the answer is:

robot

'mechanical person' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

This is the entire clue.

(Other definitions for robot that I've seen before include "Automaton or sci-fi creature" , "Automatic machine" , "Programmable machine" , "Computer-driven entity" , "performer lacking emotion" .)

I've seen this clue in the Family Time, the Universal and The Times.
