Robot Teacher Makes Debut in Japanese School

In what could be a harbinger of the future, students of elementary school 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 her - is multilingual, you can organize the tasks set for students, call the roll and angry when the children 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 businesses that want to reduce costs by replacing workers, such as office secretaries and receptionists with an android that had a range of human expressions.
