Yes, robots will become conscious.

By ‘robot’ I mean something like a human or animal but artificial. Its construction can include simple organic molecules, like amino acids, but nothing of biological origin.

Animals, including humans, are obviously finite, understandable machines. Admittedly they’re very complex, and currently mysterious. But there can’t be anything fundamentally beyond our comprehension about conscious animals.
Most likely consciousness is very simple. It’s probably just a fundamental property of matter. But suppose, instead, it’s due to a ‘supernatural soul’. I doubt it, but some believe it. Even so, there must be some mechanical trick in the brain which attaches to this hypothetical soul. It may create ‘bait’ which attracts the soul, and a ‘trap’ which keeps it attached. No matter how it works, we’ll figure it out and incorporate it into a robot.
If, against all reason, it’s ‘emergent’ (whatever that means), then computers are probably already conscious.
Bottom line: The true nature of consciousness is completely irrelevant to this question. However it works, we’ll reproduce it in a robot.
