Consciousness is a quality specific only to living beings, whether we talk about animals, humans or other forms of life it is only such "creatures" that are born to be conscious and live their life conscious.
Robots will probably be able to learn certain behavioral patterns, will be able to have logic, to think and act, but never to feel. Having feelings and being conscious can not be learned and will never be an artificial quality.
Consciousness is an organic quality and thus I believe that robots will never be able to attain that. No matter how much the technology will improve and on what peaks will it climb.
I could say that given time and research, anything is possible with technology. However, I think this is a question that we cannot answer yet, at least, not until we can come up with a unified theory of consciousness.
At the moment, researchers, scientists, and philosophers are all divided on a unified theory of consciousness. What is consciousness? Is consciousness knowable? Can it be measured? Can it be reproduced? And if it can be reproduced, can we transfer it to a machine? How do we transfer it to a machine. At this point in time, we haven't even answered the first question. What is consciousness?
So, unless we can know that, we won't have any definitive answer to the question can robots become conscious one day. On a personal note, I don't want robots to become conscious in the future. I've seen enough sci-fi movies and TV shows to know that is a bad thing.
Logically, do you think that your question is just a joke? whose names are lifeless certainly will not be aware, only humans are perfect, humans can feel anything.

Yes, it's possible. There is no impossible word in the dictionary of science.
