I'm pretty sure Charlize Theron's character was a robot.
1) She called Weyland "father", at the beginning he said David was "the closest thing I have to a son."
2) They refer to her maybe-being-a-robot but then kind of deny it when she invites Stringer Bell to her room. But they don't show what happens next. So can't really draw any conclusions.
3) She didn't act like a robot, obviously, being in a hypersleep. My thought is that no one is supposed to know she's a robot, but I don't know why... maybe she's supposed to inherit the corporation? There was a reference to that.
4) Weyland not being able to have children -> being obsessively scared of dying fits in well with the Freudism being kicked around pretty liberally in this movie (engineers killing their offspring and vice-versa, a mother literally aborting herself, overuse of symbolism-in-dreams, on and on and on...)
5) Only a robot can have an ass like that.
