My Research Question: Will robots ever be human?

I already highlighted for the most part my reasons for taking Scientific Research.

First of all, my reason for Focusing on this topic. I have always been fascinated by the Robotics field, not only because of its apparent coolness. But also because it is one of those interdisciplinary fields that cuts across almost every facet of science and engineering. From mechanical, to electrical, to control, to software engineering, you name it. It even scoops a bit from philosophy and psychology in terms of Artificial Consciousness and Intelligence.

I hope to answer my question by basing my 'human' analysis on 4 main pillars. Gender, Emotions, Consciousness and Intelligence. I will be delving into their biological and scientific definitions in humans. I will then juxtapose with robots.
