Sony's Robot Attends Pre-School

Posted by timothy on from the plenty-of-robots-went-to-school-with-me dept.

Darren writes "Sony's Qrio humanoid robot has been attending a Californian pre school to play with children under the age of 2 since March to test if robots can live harmoniously with humans. I wonder if the testing includes monitoring the 'nightmare status' of the pre-schoolers?"

    well as great as this experiment is, if left alone I think somone will just boost that Qrio buddy and sell it for parts. seriously humans are far too bent on getting the edge over the next guy and will do anything for cash. I bet the Qrio will have more security than the president lol so he'll just be labeled a rich kid, and never make it into the cool crowd. Unless they turn Qrio into a walking mp3 player haha

    Some fool modded this troll. Normally I wouldn't care, but I just have to wonder if the mod even read my post. Perhaps they did, but in the stupor of fisting their own ass, they didn't realize satire and sarcastic comments exist. Hopefully, the trolling retard that modded this as troll will read this and promptly remove his or her fist from his or her rectum. Wait...Who am I fooling? Get a fucking life.
