I don't subscribe to the idea that "robots can't be conscious". I think that any scientific definition for what it means for an entity to be conscious could apply to a robot, in theory. The only way it couldn't is to insist that it's some purely organic phenomenon. I don't know why there is a need to do that, but if you do so, then of course robots "can't be conscious"; but you haven't actually said anything.
I think it's more of an emotional reaction/argument, personally.
