FFG Star Wars gives you droids

Engine Heart is excellent, but not a combat encounter game

Artifice is the AI game Engine Heart's mechanics were based on

There's minigames like Run Robot Red. Rob Bot and His Robotic Buds, or Lasers & Feelings (android is one of 7 PC styles)

Something like FAE has no problem with robot PCs, or the GM mandating that all PCs are robots

I came here to suggest Savage Worlds as well. They even have a sci fi supplement which basically let's you homebrew any kind of setting you want.

Fate is also a good choice if OP wants something less crunchy. It something where you're not in danger of getting one-shot.

This one emulates a TV cartoon episode where one of the players plays the Main Character, two others play his sidekick, and the fourth plays the BBEG. You determine who plays the BBEG by having everyone give a quick elevator pitch for their idea for the episode, and the one that everyone likes the most gets to be the BBEG for that game.

I've never played this one but it's got kind of an "Engine Heart in a communist space station" vibe.

It's light for players, but with a fair bit of crunch for GMs, so I'd suggest taking a look at Traveller. I prefer Classic, using The Traveller Book, but some folks like the nice modern layout of Mongoose Traveller. They're mostly compatible. Just be warned that Mongoose has shitty editing outside the core book. Some of the splats are terrible.
