Do robots have feelings?

I was thinking today, and all humans are are really complex robots. We are "programmed" to feel emotions, via our sensors. So, if I program a robot to say "Ow!" when you punch it, do you feel bad? Where do we draw the line between robots and humans? Theres a lot more questions I want to ask, but I can't really get them out right now... but it basically comes down to

When do robots become "living"?
