I highly doubt robots could get close to current humans (consciousness, self-reflection) without some strides in quantum computing.
As it stands the most complex, highest entropy systems are found within the 3(physcial dimension)/4 Dimensional(+Time) Networks created by Brains, namely Neurons.
The system has entropy and stores additional vector spaces up to 11 dimensions. If you think I am kidding/playing*(edited per Jovialis suggestion) with ya, follow 3 Brown 1 Blue on youtube and you can understand what encoding a higher dimension into a lower mathematically rigorous structure means. A simple example in principle is conservation of angular momentum in Newtonian Physics.

The hardest problem on the hardest test (The way the Romanian Mathematician solved the problem, is basically a proof of how higher dimensional spaces can be encoded/compressed into lower dimensional sequences.

What am I trying to say?
Well, the center of your brain, whoever is reading this... Is far more complex in nature (entropy, information, for reference research Boltzman and Maxwell (Maxwells Demon specifically) than anything found in the macro cosmological scale.
Meaning: It is far easier to predict how Planets will rotate around the galaxy, with unmatched accuracy you can predict an eclipse even 100k years from now, than to predict the very next firing of your own Neural Network.
Interesting read:

Note: I disagree with parts of this paper, especially conclusion, but you get the idea...
Thus I highly doubt the singularity of consciousness as we know it in Humans and living organisms can be replicated in a robot.
However... I do not expect it to be impossible either... Would just require some Deus Ex Machina.
Let me muddy the waters with some
Metaphysics:
"(29) Jesus said, "If the
flesh came into being because of spirit, it is a wonder. But
if spirit came into being because of the body, it is a wonder of wonders. Indeed, I am amazed at how this
great wealth has made its home in this poverty."
Anyone who has studied, even superficially, the Classical Greek debates regarding
material world, or
ideal world (Socrates, Plato, Aristotles etc etc, 300-400 Years preceding Jesus) will have a couple of higher dimensional structures in their brain light up when reading the above sentence by Jesus according to the Gospel of Thomas.
Just like Jesus, if the Gospel of Thomas is to be trusted, I am truly astonished regarding the dual nature of the world as ideal and material.
How
such higher dimensional networks, could
be mathematically rigorous in the physical plane... That is truly the wonder of wonders.
Note: I am using Jesus as depicted by Thomas Judas in the gospel of Thomas found in Nagh Hamadi (
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nag_Hammadi_library) And thus as a "historical figure".
For all the Atheists and Agnostics, take it the same way as any readings of Aristotle or Strabo, not religiously, figuratively. For the religious folk, do not take this literally. (I personally doubt Jesus was talking about material wealth in that verse (29))
Editing to add more sources, since I already got a warning due to my rhetorical style, and have already been called a "ultra-nationalist Balkanist conspiracy theorist" xD;
At least I, should take responsibility for the burden of proof:
