You must be referring to the Mentats. They're completely human.
"This is a Mentat, Feyd. It has been trained and conditioned to perform certain duties. The fact that its encased in a human body, however, must not be overlooked. A serious drawback, that. I sometimes think the ancients with their thinking machines had the right idea."
This is the quote that lead me to believe that a Menatat was a robot. With your added info I can see where I misinterpreted but it definitely made it seem like it was only "encased in a human body" not a human in and of itself. I assume its because the Baron just thinks himself above the Mentat?
I find the worst part of reading books is that I don't have anyone to talk them out with like I would with a GOT type show. If y'all (Boxcar) don't mind, I will report back every now and then and we can discuss whats happening.

One of the few pleasures in my life is talking Dune with people. So feel free to discuss away.
