"However, in real life, no one has yet made a sentient machine. We have no idea how phenomena such as consciousness, morality, love or anger are generated in human brains.

And far less idea how to impart these things into computer software and silicon chips. Hence the scepticism about "robot rights".

Many experts question the whole idea of building a humanoid robot at all.

As one expert, based in the U.S., told me: "If you just want a servant to cook and look after the garden, there are plenty of Mexicans. Why buy a hugely expensive machine?"
