Technological developments are good for the development of the nation. But I feel human interaction is something different from such robots. All Robots act as per a program predesigned and preloaded. But a human never acts like that. He can change his plan as required and based on the requirement. A teacher can understand the mentality and psychology of a student and he can change his teaching methodology as required. But a robot can't do this. It will only play its prerecorded answers.
Already we are in a world of competition. There are no jobs and unemployment is becoming a big issue and becoming more and more serious. In such a backdrop if teachers are also replaced by robots the problem will further become serious. That situation is not desirable. The technologists should leave some works to humans so that they can earn their lively hood.

I must appreciate the author for her valuable information. It is the reflection of the advancement of the technology from the modest level to the present one. It can be said that this is the starting phase and many more innovations are in the the stores in the times ahead.
However, it might not appear a realistic approach at this juncture since an effort has been made to teach a rural child not familiar with abc of the Artificial Intelligence. It could have been much more effective had he been taught the basics of the newly discovered tools with the class teacher. The teachers should explain how promising it could be in the long run if a student is sincerely involved in the learning - process of such advanced technologies.
Before a student is confident of a variety of tools, the class - room needs a competent teacher to alleviate students' doubts with the supervision of the class - teachers.

This is an interesting information. Today technology is advancing in a great way and also so many types of gadgets are coming in the market including robots meant for different purposes.
As far as the teaching job is considered if there is a shortage of a teacher in an institute then it makes sense to provide a robot there otherwise when qualified people are already waiting for jobs it would be better to give the unemployed youths a chance rather than keeping a robot for the teaching purpose.
In my view a robot cannot give the same personal touch that a teacher can give to a student. A robot is a machine and lacks emotions which are very much required during the growing up period of a student especially students of primary classes.
We must consider all the pros and cons of keeping robots as teachers in the educational institutions.
Thoughts exchanged is knowledge gained.

I remember that in some restaurants in some foreign country robots were introduced and it was a big news at that point of time. Today we are seeing robots to be used in many industries especially for hazardous jobs. To that extent using robots seems to be logical but where qualified manpower is easily available why we should resort to these machines that is the question that naturally comes in our minds.
As regards the teaching job it is a job where personal interaction of teachers with students is very important and it is obvious that robots cannot function in that way.
Knowledge is power.

Though Robots are made efficient enough to handle the classroom, the most vital part of this machine might be lacking a human touch - an essential component to motivate the students. The robotics are inserted with the planned lessons and some tools to clarify the doubts of the students. They cannot go beyond the inserted inputs in case the pupils have different questions in their mindset.
In the initial stage, the innocent kids would require a capable teacher to sort out the issues of the individuals. There cannot be a substitute of robotics in learning the modules at this phase. The authorities of the schools should ensure the presence of a human teacher to take care of their learning appetite. There is no dearth of qualified teachers in the market, the only point is to provide them an opportunity to introduce themselves for the quality teachings.

If the purpose is to simply impart knowledge, humanoid robot teachers may do their job satisfactorily, but we need to understand that the only job of teachers is not just all about imparting knowledge. And when looked at from that context, the basic fact that AI systems do not have emotions gains much importance. Teaching or interacting with students on what they are being taught appears to be the only thing such robots can do. What about the EQ level of kids? What about the individual experiences or feelings at a personal level with reference to their family or society? I don't think humanoid robot teachers will be able to enact the role of humans in that aspect and that is what makes all the difference.
Whether it be rural or urban schools or teaching the rich or poor or government or private schools, replacing humans with robots as teachers will not bring in the much-needed result of education which is 'creating responsible citizens and social beings'. I am saying this keeping well in mind the possibility of technological development at a later stage wherein robots with emotions may also be created.
So, it is, I feel, a bane.

The way things are shaping up, I think future looks bleak for humans. If businessmen and big corporates start entering each and every sector, then surely everything will be under the control of Artificial Intelligence. They want profit at any cost and they will deploy robots in their factories, schools, colleges, etc, for profits. Humans specially middle class families will bear the brunt of these robots as their will be no work available for them. Teaching will become monotonous and students will sleep in their classroom without any problems.
Students might even skip their classes because the same thing will be available on the internet, which they are taught by the robot in the classroom. If these things actually are implemented on largescale, school will no longer be that place we enjoyed in the childhood. It will be a dull monotonous without any humane touch and future generations will be devoid of emotions because they are taught by an emotionless creature.
Humble yourself or life will do it for you!
