[Fallout] Are the Mr. Handy robots sentient /self aware?

When you meet codsworth after your 2 century disappearance in fallout 4, you can ask him why he is acting strange, and then starts telling you about how lonely he is and almost starts to have a mental breakdown. 

This, along with some of his actions and comments about things, makes me wonder if they are somehow alive, or just the products of some very sophisticated programming.

Past experiences with robots says yes. Yes they are. They aren't typically recognised as such, but certain ones do exhibit characteristics which would mark them as both sentient and self aware. EDE, for instance.
