they do not have the eight charicteristics of life
Robots are not considered living things because they do not possess biological functions or the ability to grow, reproduce, and adapt to their environment. They are machines designed to perform specific tasks based on their programming.
Living things have the capacity to reproduce, non-living things do not reproduce. The living things use biological energy for their growth and development, non-living things do not require such energy.
No, not all living things have to move to be considered alive. For example, plants are considered alive but many of them are rooted in one place and do not move. Movement is just one characteristic that some living things possess.
Living things are called organisms. Things that don't live are simply called matter. Soil is considered matter because it isn't living.
Rocks are considered non-living things because they do not exhibit characteristics of life such as growth, reproduction, or metabolism. Rocks are made up of minerals and do not have cells or the ability to respond to their environment in the way living organisms do.

Currently, the definition of living excludes robots definitely. However, personally I feel that Humans are pretty similar to robots, in the fact that Humans are 'programmed' in a way, as anything you do is pretty much justifiable, just maybe the 'coding' and 'programming' is more complex. But I feel that robots may be more and more similar to living things, maybe even considered to be living one day, like how some robots can 'learn' nowadays.
no
Engineers make robots because it is their job. Along with engineers, Hackers make robots (not the computer hackers but the hackers who modify things). Overall anyone can build a robot, it is the engineers and hackers build them for a living.
No, but some robots have had light bulbs in them and they could be considered a being. They just wouldn't be a living being/thing.
Yes they do if not fire along with many other things would be considered living.
They are considered living.
Lettuce is a plant, and plants are living things.
Robots do not need the things people need to survive, robots have the only ability to do what they're programmed to do, and their brains are computers.
Robots were created to help out with things tough for humans.
Yes, some non-living things, like viruses, exhibit characteristics of living things such as replication and evolution. However, they are considered non-living because they cannot carry out these processes on their own and require a host cell to reproduce.
