Chii in Chobits

Holon in Real Drive ("RD Sennou Chousashitsu") might qualify. It's been a while since I watched this so I can't be sure.

Dimension W for sure
Alita battle angel is a good one too I'm guessing

Both are very action-oriented shows, not much comedy or SoL elements as Nichijou so my b

I think Key The Metal Idol has a plot-point like this. I haven't watched it yet, but it has a solid opening, and great atmosphere from what I've seen.
EDIT:
Just checked. Yes, the protagonist is a robot who wants to become a human. Seems to be exactly what you're looking for OP. It's also one of those old-school anime where all the music was redone in English for the dub, so if you like that vibe, you should check it out. I definitely need to get around to watching it too, lol.
EDIT:
Updated signature because Tinypic is shutting down.

I could well be wrong, but I don't think Violet herself is a robot or android. She has prosthetic arms, but the Wiki page describes her as "an abandoned and nameless child." Her prowess in battle might suggest otherwise though.

You're probably right. I didn't finish the series myself (too much feels) so I didn't find out but she seemed to try to understand human concepts of love and such plus being part machine so I figured maybe OP might like it

Violet Evergarden might actually be a good recommendation even though she is human with metal prosthetics, she’s acts like a tool/robot as well as trying to grasp what concept of love, the show is a really emotional too because the show follows her progress carefully with detail as well as those around her.
The show pretty much made me cry, really weak at these kind of shows haha

Thank you. Yeah I really loved the animation but it was just so sad I couldn't continue. I'm pretty weak at these too XD
