Develop a working model of how the brain works.
That's been done quite a few times already, no? And then what after you do that? I'm trying to follow the progression.
Develop a working model of how the brain works.
...but in reality are pre programed by culture and DNA?
No, it hasn't been done. We do understand some aspects of it, but there is no complete theory of the mind.
As of now all robots can only do exactly what we tell them to. No more, no less. If we tell them to act like they have feelings or a conscience then they will. But, they will not actually have a consciences or emotions.
Do not exist and I doubt ever will.
...The question I have is would a machine capable of artifical intelligence develop ethics on its own and what would those ethics be? My guess is that if the machine was not social, no interacting with other machines or humans, it would not exhibit ethical behaviors unless an artifical ethical constraint was imposed on it by its creators.
To make something that truly has the ability to reason that thing must be capable of being wrong - it must be flawed.
To learn one must be able to assess value.
For an entity to be aware and intelligent, it must be conscious...
Just about everything.What are we missing? What are we not getting?
Even if we ever develop AI, will we ever be able to program computers with emotions?
Would you want to? Would you really want you vacuum cleaner to nag you about your housekeeping?
Just about everything.
An example: I look at your picture, your avatar and I instantaneously recognize it as Sandy. I don't have to look at the hair, then the eyes, then the nose, the mouth...I see the picture and identify it. The computer has to scan it and look at specific points programmed into it, usually the triangle created between the eyes and tip of the nose. Then it has to scan its memory, searching every single stored image of a face (scanning all stored images would take forever) until it finds a match. How fast it scans is up to its processor speed. Even the dumbest person around can instantly identify people they know.

is a Stanford link discussing AI.
"Q. How far is AI from reaching human-level intelligence? When will it happen?
A. A few people think that human-level intelligence can be achieved by writing large numbers of programs of the kind people are now writing and assembling vast knowledge bases of facts in the languages now used for expressing knowledge.
However, most AI researchers believe that new fundamental ideas are required, and therefore it cannot be predicted when human-level intelligence will be achieved."
Then there is: an ethical decision is an emotional decision. Even if we ever develop AI, will we ever be able to program computers with emotions? Would you want to? Would you really want you vacuum cleaner to nag you about your housekeeping?

Humans do not have the brain capacity to program a computer to act human. If that happens, it will be when a human devises a process to upload his or her brain to a computer like device.
Then it will take that device to develop the next generation AI which will be at the level that is akin to the intelligence multiplier between monkeys and humans.
It is similar to the human designed robots that manufacture Cars or other devices which is much more sophisticated than that a human can do manually.
