I think I didn't understand the ending of the movie, who was the real robot? If it was Kurumi, why is Haru called Q01?

I think I understand it a little bit more but still don't understand everything. (Your english is confusing, sorry.)

The real robot was Kurumi. Haru was so shocked that Kurumi died in that airplane you see in the beginning of the movie that he experienced extreme denial, he was convinced that he was a robot and that Kurmin didn't actually die. Kurumi's grandfather decided to use Q01 for robotic therapy by making Q01 the ''new'' Kurumi and try to help Haru accept the reality of what actually happened.

When the grandfather says to Q01 ''Please save that child'' he is actually referring to Haru.

Really how could you not understand it? It was all explained in the movie. You know the part where the guy says, "Hal thinks he's a robot". And then turns to qo1 and says save that child and then it cuts to hal. Then it shows karumi with robot parts.
Religion is regarded by the common people as true, by the wise as false, and by the rulers as useful.

But what about that scene towards the beginning when the doctor says to QO1 "Become Hal. Save that child."
Was that just fake to trick us?

Did the doctor and everyone stage that to go along with Hal thinking that he was a robot?

Was that just a false memory created by Hal (to explain why he thinks he's a robot) that happens to be exactly what occured when the doctor has QO1 become Kurumi?

yes, I think the doctor and everyone went along with haru, it was to save him after all. The doctor does say to Q01 to save that child which refers to haru. But I'm not too sure about the second part. You might be right, it might be a false memory only made by haru.

set by secret santa ; thank you! ily ♥️

You will be confused if you missed the doctor's dialogue when he said something like "he's acting like a robot because of the incident".

He went into full denial due to shock and grief from her dying in such a horrible way. He convinced himself he was the one who died and that she lived. They used the robot to help him cope by playing out the scenario he made up for himself. I'm not too sure about the heart thing myself but it's true that he was in major debt and very poor.
