<P> Andrew goes on a quest to locate more NDR series robots to discover if others have also developed sentience . After nearly twenty years of failure , he finds Galatea ( Kiersten Warren ) , an NDR robot that has been given feminine attributes and personality . These , however , are simply aspects of her programming and not something which she spontaneously developed . Galatea is owned by Rupert Burns ( Oliver Platt ) , son of the original NDR robot designer . Burns works to create more human - looking robots , but is unable to attract funding . Andrew agrees to finance the research and the two join forces to revolutionize robotics . He meanwhile maintains contact with Amanda , who grew up , married , had a child , divorced and now has a granddaughter called Portia . After receiving human features , Andrew comes back home , and sees Amanda , now aged , with Portia , who is the same as her grandmother in her younger years ( they are both played by Embeth Davidtz ) . Initially he has some troubles reintegrating into the family since now there is only Amanda who actually knows him , but he manages to befriend Portia . Some time later , Amanda passes away , leaving Andrew to realise that everyone he knows will die one day . Accepting this fact , Andrew decides to become human . With the help of Rupert , he creates a new type of mechanical organs that can be used both by him to become more human and used by humans as prosthetic organs . He gains a nervous system and lots of other organs that make him able to eat , to feel emotions and sensations , and also to have sexual intercourse . Eventually , Andrew becomes human enough to fall in love with Portia and , ultimately , she falls in love with him . </P>
