If you were planning on making a robot character pretending to be a normal person, you can definitely stop there, because Penny is canonically the only fully sentient robot with a soul on the entire planet, and she's still in the testing phases. Or... was.

A "cyborg" is okay by my reckoning, so long as you don't give him/her the crazy features like I mentioned, or make them more robot than man. As for the concept itself, so long as they cover themselves up so that the parts in question are not visible, it's feasible. But you need to be VERY careful not to give the character any particular advantages over other students beyond not feeling pain in their prosthetics.
