I think it will take quite some time for humans to accept robots as entities with rights. There's a lot of fear surrounding the idea of intelligent machines, and most deeply religious people (who I know, family included) consider robots/A.I. to be (somewhat) evil. We mostly have Hollywood to thank for that. When the majority of the human population understands technology and its ever-changing limits, the fear and stigma towards artificial intelligence comparable to our own will subside and only then will sentient robots be accepted. It's human nature to fear the unknown. It's gotten us to where we are today. But I think there comes a point in our timeline where we overcome all fear with our ability to understand and predict. Ironically enough, this will probably require the advancement of (and potentially cooperation with) A.I.
