It does seem to us that robots in Japan as well as South Korea are far more advanced compared to the rest of the world, as they do play a very visible role in everyday life as compared to many other developed countries, where robots are relegated to factories and assembly lines instead. Well, teachers might want to buck up to make sure that they have a job sometime down the road, as the new KIRO robot that was developed by Korea’s Robot Institute has been introduced to South Korean schools so that teaching efficiency is increased.
The KIRO robot’s purpose wasn’t meant to sit in the classroom originally, as it was supposed to function as a museum guide instead, but initial response to KIRO proved to be extremely positive that the creators actually reprogrammed it so that it can be tested in schools as an educational aid for teachers.
The KIRO robot might even be marketed to the US down the road, so you know just how serious the creators are in making sure their invention will be appreciated around the globe.
