It's not exactly like they're in a good position to get offended.
YOU CANNOT CALL US THIS.
THAT IS OUR WORD.
BEEP BOP BOOP BOP!

I'm pretty sure I'm just going to call them "Get back! You'll never take me alive!" while waving a shotgun at them. You hear me, robots? I'll never succumb to your mechanized tyranny!
Synthetic or Artificial Person. One, though Sci Fi in origin, they arn't going to carry so many fictional associations in the mainstream. 2, there is no assumptions of inferiority or superiority through words like "Challenged". 3, they are simple, memorable, straightforward, and don't sound forced. Synthetic would be a more scientific, formal term, while artificial person would be the more informal term.
Robot: ?noun
1. a machine that resembles a human and does mechanical, routine tasks on command.
2. a person who acts and responds in a mechanical, routine manner, usually subject to another's will; automaton.
3. any machine or mechanical device that operates automatically with humanlike skill.
So sentience doesn't apply to robots - the word robot, to them, would presumably be like calling a human 'slave'.
I guess synthetic and organic lifeforms would be the used terms. Or maybe different models would be like different species of organics?
I, however, am far more worried about how we address bears when they finally come out of the forest and show us the advanced civilisation they've been hiding from us for centuries...
