Japanese retailer Aeon Co. has introduced a four-foot-seven tall, yellow-and-white robot at a store in the southern city of Fukuoka.
This robot is said to entertain children while the parents are having a dinner party for example.
Parents are encouraged to leave their children with the kid-sized machine, and the kids wear special badges that bear codes which the robot can read.
The robot can identify the children’s names and ages and chat with them.
This robot also has a projector in one of its eyes to beam advertising messages or to show pictures that it has captured with a camera installed in the other eye.
The question is would you leave your children with a robot?
