It depends on what you're calling a robot.
Technically, robotic devices in use today are controlled by specialized computers which are little more than the computer on your desk at home, but they DO have a few specialized inputs and outputs, called "discrete I/O". Those I/O points allow robotic control computers to detect events and set outputs. Some of the more elaborate computer programs have shape recognition software that allows the computer to use television cameras to determine what outputs to set. The outputs cause motors, solenoids and other robotic equipment to operate.
Some of the control computers also have voice recognition software which allows the computer to recognize basic commands.
Neither voice nor optical recognition has reached the point of being terribly accurate.
The idea of a "sentient" computer is still a long way off, so any comparison between a robotic control computer and a human brain is invalid at this time.

How are robots and computers alike?
Robots contain one or more embedded computers.
How do you program a robot?
Many ways, depending on the robot complexity, how it is being ran and other factors. Conventional 'robots' have motors, sensors, and a computer. Usually the computer runs a program that does all the programming, this can be done in ANY language that the programmer fancies the most. There are some robots called BEAM robots that aren't programmed using code or programming, but instead react as a neural network (like an organic brain) or reactions from the pre built electronics in the robot. This is a VERY open question
Where are robots made?
in your imagination bish
Will robots ever take over the world?
No robots will never take over the world! People just say that to scare other people.
How long have robots helped us troops?
for a long time
What is the difference between the human brain and the robot brain?
The difference is robots don't have brains.
What makes humans different from robots?
Heart Brain Blood Emotions Skin/Hair
How do robots control themselves?
They are programmed using a certain software and then the program (aka. the directions) are loaded onto a computer chip (aka. the brain) and that controls the robots movements
What is Brain Mcknight JR and Niko Mcknight band name?
BRKNRBTZ which is an abbreviation for Broken Robots.
Are robots from robotshopcom good?
It depends on what you are trying to do with robots. If you are trying to get into robotics (the subject of this category), then I would not get started with the robots or parts from the shop you mention. I would start with one of the Lego kits that include NXT brain. You can then gradually move to more complex robots. I would also look at usfirst.org to see if you can get involved there.
How do robots replace a human workforce?
Not really because the mental work is really made for a human with a brain.
How are robots created?
I am currently making a robot and first you need a designs then you get the brain which will control the robot, the brain is programmed in C. Then you get the controller and program all the outputs and servos, and hope it works.
Do robots have souls?
An android has no more of a soul than a rock does.
What are names of a robot?
There are humanoid robots, military robots, insect robots, and space robots. There are more kinds of robots too.
Who make robots?
Anyone can make them. All you need is the parts, a computer with robot programming software, and a way to get the robot's program to its brain.
Will robots exist in 25 years?
Yes. Robots exist now, and there is no reason to believe that they will stop existing. If, however, you meant to ask "Will intelligent robots like those in some science fiction novels or movies, like Star Wars, exist in 25 years?", that is not known, but it seem unlikely, given the immense complexity of the human brain.
Why are robots useful to people?
Robots are useful to us because they are smarter than most people these days. They have a ''brain'' that functions to do the things that most humans would find as too much ''effort'' or ''boring''. Robots are just like humans but better because they are only programmed to do certain things. BUT robots can kill you.
