Could robots be regarded as humans in future?

With the overwhelming advances in Artificial Intelligence (AI), brain science and neuroscience, robots are developing towards a direction of much more human-like and human-friendly. We can't help but wonder whether robots could be regarded as humans in future? In this article, we propose a novel perspective to analyze the essential difference between humans and robots, that is based on their respective living spaces, particularly the independent and intrinsic thinking space. We finally come to the conclusion that, only when robots own the independent and intrinsic thinking space as humans, could they have the prerequisites to be regarded as humans.
