    Robot Teacher Makes Debut at Japanese School
    Wednesday, March 11, 2009

    In what could be a harbinger of the future, elementary-school students in Tokyo are being taught by a robot.

    Saya is the result of 15 years of research and is being tested as a teacher after working as a receptionist.

    She — or it — is multilingual, can organize set tasks for pupils, call the roll and get angry when the kids misbehave.

    Saya is just one example of Japan's determination to put a robot in every home by 2015.

    The robot was originally developed for companies who want to cut costs by replacing office workers such as secretaries and receptionists with an android that had a range of human expressions.

    If they can program the thing not to its students then I can see the applications for this technology.

    you don't watch many movies or much TV, do you...

    I don't know....maybe one day it might be a good idea....

    as of now though, it wouldn't last 5 minutes on a west side campus.

    I wonder if a teacher was "stolen" by the kids if it would be considered kidnapping or theft

    Actually, I was thinking specifically of the "love machine" that looks like Jude Law in AI. I would buy one of those.

    Oh good, the Japanese are programming angry robots
    I think I also read that they are trying to install the robots with laser beam eyes and razor sharp throwing stars, but I could be wrong.
