YOUR NEW TEACHER MAY BE A ROBOT TEACHER.
ROBOT TEACHER/ROBOT TEACHER ARTICLE
The robot teachers are programmed for their jobs, They will always obey, They are the solution to the education, They can teach you technological skills, They can teach poor kids that have no chance to go in contact with technology and they do not have to get paid.
Robot teachers advantages
The robot teachers are better than the human, They are new & they will have new methods, The teachers have the old methods while the robot teachers have up-to-date methods, If the robots become the teachers , They will only be in the elementary schools and the pre-schools.
The robot teachers are mainly used as the classroom assistants in the elementary schools, Some robots can transmit the video from far away places, so, the teacher does not have to be in the classroom if they do not live in the country, The kids not only love the robots, but also the robots benefit the kids in the classroom.
Robot teacher Disadvantages
Many schools don’t have a lot of money, They don’t pay their teachers, So, they will not afford the robot teacher even at the cheapest price, The robots need the electricity and the electricity costs a lot.
The robot teachers do not have feelings, They are not able to help you to get over things and help you feel better but the human teachers can and the robot teacher wouldn’t know what to do.
If we converted to the robots, The teachers and staff worldwide would lose their jobs, The robots teacher are not able to develop the personal distinctions between the students.
Implementing this technology in the classroom requires the existing infrastructure for the electricity and Internet, an instructor device (desktop/laptop/iPad)is needed to connect to and the software to enable the use of all aspects of the hardware.
The robot teachers are higher cost technologies in the developing world, The software is employed on low-cost laptops, desktops or tablets to simulate the teacher instruction.
In these classrooms, The entire curriculum can be imparted to the students through the computer program, making a quality human teacher unnecessary.
There are no inspiring robot teachers, They are all programmed to spit the knowledge out at the students and expect the students to spit it back at them.
The robot teacher can not develop the creative or innovative ideas for teaching the material in a new way, It can not comment on the papers to provide the students with valuable positive feedback or the critiques.
The robot teacher can not pull the struggling student aside and determine if there are personal issues related to his/her performance, It can not encourage the students with the particular strength & interest in the subject to consider certain career paths.
In developing regions, Employing technology as the alternative to the human instruction makes it is difficult to gauge the design specifications for the effective instructional software.
Robot As Teacher
If you think of the jobs robots could never do, you would probably put doctors and teachers at the top of the list. It’s easy to imagine robot cleaners and factory workers, but some jobs need human connection and creativity. But are we underestimating what robots can do? In some cases, they already perform better than doctors at diagnosing illness. Also, some patients might feel more comfortable sharing personal information with a machine than a person. Could there be a place for robots in education after all?
British education expert Anthony Seldon thinks so. And he even has a date for the robot takeover of the classroom: 2027. He predicts robots will do the main job of transferring information and teachers will be like assistants. Intelligent robots will read students’ faces, movements and maybe even brain signals. Then they will adapt the information to each student. It’s not a popular opinion and it’s unlikely robots will ever have empathy and the ability to really connect with humans like another human can.
One thing is certain, though. A robot teacher is better than no teacher at all. In some parts of the world, there aren’t enough teachers and 9–16 per cent of children under the age of 14 don’t go to school. That problem could be partly solved by robots because they can teach anywhere and won’t get stressed, or tired, or move somewhere for an easier, higher-paid job.
Those negative aspects of teaching are something everyone agrees on. Teachers all over the world are leaving because it is a difficult job and they feel overworked. Perhaps the question is not ‘Will robots replace teachers?’ but ‘How can robots help teachers?’ Office workers can use software to do things like organise and answer emails, arrange meetings and update calendars. Teachers waste a lot of time doing non-teaching work, including more than 11 hours a week marking homework. If robots could cut the time teachers spend marking homework and writing reports, teachers would have more time and energy for the parts of the job humans do best.
We have seen robots serve food in cafeterias and restaurants, but for the first time in India, robot teachers have been introduced in Bengaluru’s Indus International School for a completely different purpose. These Artificial Intelligence-enabled robots will assist teachers in the classroom and also clear the doubts of students. The school’s tech team that comprises developers, programmers, graphic designers, content developers and experienced teachers have built three such robots. The idea behind building these robots is to help teachers do something different for children rather than deliver the same content straight from the textbooks.

A thermal physics class is in progress at Grade 8B of Indus International School, Bengaluru. The physics teacher, Murali Subramanian, is hovering over the children but conducting lessons at the centre of the classroom is Eagle 2.0, a humanoid robot, which could perhaps be the first in the country to be a teacher assistant.“Hello everyone. We will focus on thermal physics today!” says Eagle 2.0, moving its head and body robotically. Clad in a white top, black skirt and a scarf around her neck, she is capable of two-way interaction: She takes queries from students and asks the class questions, and reacts to the answers she receives.
“It’s a collaborative learning model that we have in place. In today’s classroom, a teacher spends 90% of the time in preparing and delivering the content that a search engine like Google can provide. She has no time for the child, who is just considered an empty vessel that can be filled with any content. With the humanoid robot taking over the role of delivering content, the teacher can teach what Google can’t. She mentors kids, teaches them how to learn, provides emotional support and ignites an entrepreneurial mindset. The robot can provide what Google does, along with formative and summative assessments. Meanwhile, students can aim at self-directed learning and design thinking. The teacher orchestrates the whole classroom,” said Lt Gen Arjun Ray, CEO of Indus Trust.
Eagle 2.0 was completely built in house by a team of 17 members comprising content developers, who are experienced teachers, graphic designers with a background of animation and gaming, programmers who are IIT alumni and engineers who were trained in robot development in China for two months. The team worked for two years to develop the humanoid robot from scratch, including 3-D printing and assembling. The motor has been imported from the US, and is the same as the one humanoid Sophia uses. So far, three humanoid robots have been built at a cost of Rs eight lakh each.
The school is conducting a pilot project on standalone teaching humanoids that can work alone in a classroom in the absence of teachers. It also plans to introduce more child-friendly and interactive robots in its pre-primary and primary classes and personal humanoid tutors for students. The existing humanoids are also being improved with more sensors and interactive capability.
