Considering the Advancement of Artificial Intelligence, Do Robots Deserve Rights in Society?

The farther we advance as society, the way we view ethical treatment of the machines we create will come into question. If we go as far as to create machines that operate in a way similar to man, what rights do they deserve? What does it say about our society if we do or don’t give these machines the same respect we give animals, or other people?
 
I would not consider that. Robots in the truest sense of the word are still machines... They are machines created by man and just like an ordinary car they're just mere object.. Robots don't belong to the hierarchy of living things.
 
Nope, nope, nope. (n):p
 
You're not serious, right? They don't have souls, aren't sentient and won't ever deserve the same rights as people, animals etc.

I am not, I seen this question posted on a website, the source is in the top corner of the OP.

I don't think robots should have any rights at all. They are robots.
