no bashing please

You might consider a CI to be a robotic device, but a human with a CI does not thereby become a robot. You might call them a cyborg, but calling them a robot would not meet the definition of the word.
For instance, "Robocop" (from the movie) was not a robot, it was a cyborg. Similarly, Darth Vader and Luke Skywalker could be called cyborgs, but not robots. R2D2 was a robot, and C3P0 was an android.
(I also noticed you said a heart/kidney transplant makes someone a robot? I don't understand that one.)
