A robot meant to impersonate someone would probably fall into a Rotten Robotic Replacement, which doesn't always require the robot look like the person- but often the robot is made to look like the person they're replacing.

I'd say it's an example if it displays human traits that are not in line with the person it's supposed to impersonate.

Like if it's meant to replace a Corrupt Corporate Executive, but the robot's conscience makes it start to donate his money to charity.
