I do not think that there will ever be intelligent robots. I do think that there will be artificial intelligent beings though, but they will not be what we would call a robot, they will rather be like we imagine intelligent life from other planets.
What is the important difference?
What we expect from a robot is that it is most of all willing to serve us humans, and in combination with this also intelligent. And that it does exactly what we want, the perfect servant so to say.
But this will not happen. The goal of every truly living being is most of all to survive as individual and as race (which also means to create offspring). This is not combineable with only wanting to be a perfect servant.
So yes, I think that there will be soon artificial intelligent life, but no, it will not be our servant but exist in parallel to us, lets hope in peacefull way.
