RE: Why? + AI + DIY = Oh My!

While using robots for boring jobs like cleaning the house sounds great, I wonder about the well-being of a child left in charge of a robot. When this becomes a thing, you can expect many parents to get a robot-nanny. Yet, children, especially small ones, need human interaction to learn language and how to respond to other people's emotions or social clues. Can a robot replace the smile of the mother or a cuddle? As progress cannot be stopped, I guess we'll find out.
Good job with the hair paste :)

I share you concern about a robot caring for children. I already see how too much technology has stifled the younger generations' social/communication skills. I think a much better use case for humanoid robots would be for the caring for the elderly. Thanks! : )
