Do the virgins in paradise have brains? Do they have free will? What if a virgin doesn't like the martyr she is assigned to. Are the virgins able to think for themselve's? Do they have opinions? It seems to me if they do not have these qualities they are not human. Are they basically robot virgins? What "real man" wants a robot?

The joke is that the "virgins" are chickens and who wants to wive a chicken.
When you are through wiving them would you want to eat them? or eat the eggs ? for they may be your offspring.

You need to take this story of virgin with a grain of salt. That notion that 72 virgins await people who make in heaven is not part of the Qu'ran (the word of God), but is described in a hadith, which is a collections of saying attributed to Mohammad. Now to make matters a bit more complicated, the hadiths are classified by level of authenticity. This particular one scores quite high, but is not the highest. Also, different Muslim tradition do not subscribe to this particular one (Sunni Muslims do)
So that doesn't really answer the question, but the point being, maybe that notion of getting 72 virgins should be interpreted, and not taken literally. Certainly, it's not something God said will happen.

Virgins in paradise are 2 types; of human origin and "Horyiat" plural of "Horiah" meaning with large beatiful eyes. The later type is a new creation by "God" Allah for not only martyrs but also for any man who were living observing His teaching and fearing Him. The first type are God-fearing women who lived piously, God gave them ultimate beauty that some of them- according to thier good deeds in life- really exceed in beauty the second type. These virgins as well as any one who by grace and mercy of God has enterd Paradise are different from the people living on Earth in all aspects. we are talking about another life that no human has ever seen or even thought of. Off course, in Paradise people are different from what they used to be when they were on Earth. They must have "brains" but not simialar to ours in Life where brains sometimes drive people to be jealous, envious, wicked,..liars...etc.or commit sins or behave "smartly" to gain things ..etc..Besides, martyrs are also made extremely beautiful that the virgins are quite happy with. But Remember "Paradise" and its "inhabitants" are in no way to be compared with "Life" and its "inhabitants". To elaborate on this issue read about Paradise in Islamic books.

ON THE SWEETNESS. OF THE QUR'ÃN.
How shalt thou taste the flavour and delight of the Qur'ân, since thou chantest it without comprehension? Come forth through the door of the body into the landscape of the soul; come and view the garden of the Qur'ân, that all things may appear before thy soul,--what has been, what is, and what shall be, the world's dry and moist, within and without, whatsoever has been created by 'Be, and it was,' the decrees ordained by Him,--all will be made plain to thee through it. God's attributes shall obey thee, and shall truly recount their narrations before thee.
When the hearer hears God's word, the utterance of it causes him to tremble.' Till thou see with the eye of purity, how canst thou recite the sûra Ikhlâs? (Qur, 112:1)--a sûra like a cypress of Ghâtfar, its rhythm like the violets of Tabaristân. The Qur'ân's loftiness and sublimity, if thou
p. 159
ask thy preceptor, are as the throne and seat of God; its letters are the wings of the Spirit, the curtain of the Light; its diacritical points black moles on the checks of the virgins of Paradise. Regard thou in this wise its outward form, that so thou mayest understand the secret of its sûras; that it may place an alif in thy mind, and put bâ and tâ underneath thy feet; and, for the sake of life and wisdom, may dispose of thy fair Yûsuf for eighteen worthless pieces, (Qur. 12:20)--for in the street of the love of Unity and true wisdom beauty is valued no higher than this.
The crucible of desire shall try him, and afterwards he shall be made like gold of the mine; yet again is the crucible prepared, that in it all fraud and deceit may be melted out; then when the pure metal becomes soft, it is polished and made an ornament for its possessor's crown. The diadem and crown of every lord of rectitude and faith are such as this.

No "real man" wants a virgin, robot or otherwise.
The virgins your referring to are goats.
