The researchers hope that their robot will ignite
interest, especially among young people, in Soseki's
works and also enhance robotics research. To
achieve this goal, the Soseki robot will lecture in
classes. Students' reactions to a “robot” lecture will
be recorded, and then analyzed as part of continu-
ing research projects on the interaction between
humans and robots.
Only time will tell whether robot professors can
replace their real-life counterparts. Students may
well be the ones to decide who is more stimulating -
the professor or the robot. So professors -in Japan
and abroad - beware! If your performance fails to
meet expectations, you may risk losing your job to a
robot.
