目前法学界对于智能机器人的民法地位主要有否定说、肯定说和中间说三种。具备法律上的人格或拟制成为法律上的人，须具备生理学要素、心理学要素以及社会学要素，智能机器人尽管有一定的意识能力和意志，能够充当一定的社会角色，但不具有法律上的人格。智能机器人的民法地位属于人工类人格，即智能机器人所享有的是通过人工制造的、类似于或者接近于自然人的民事法律地位。但智能机器人仍然属于物的范畴，是权利客体，而不是民事主体，对其现实造成的损害以及发展中的社会风险防范，应当适用产品责任规则。
At present，there are three kinds of theories about the civil law status of intelligent robot： negative，positive and intermediate.To have a legal personality or to be made into a person in law，one must have physiological elements，psychological elements and sociological elements.Although the intelligent robot has certain consciousness ability and will ，and can act as certain social role，it does not have the legal personality.The civil law status of intelligent robot is considered to be artificial personality.That is to say，the civil legal status of intelligent robot is made by artificial and is similar to or close to that of natural person.But intelligent robot still belongs to the category of object，and it is the object of rights rather than the civil subject.Product liability rules shall be applicable to the damage caused by the intelligent robot in reality and preventing the social risks of development of the intelligent robot.
