"Do you do stuff that's not fighting machines? How'd that happen, that you were made by moon humans and never saw the moon?"
"Not really, actually. Fighting machines the whole point of us. There are automated factories in orbit."

Androids measure time in units of seconds! One second is the time it takes a cesium atom to vibrate 9192631770 times. A year is about 31.5 megaseconds, a day is 86.4 kiloseconds.
