Utter foolishness if you ask me. Why would you want some computer program teaching you something when a person does a much better job at it? These guys researching this are wasting their time. Why is a real person better? Teaching experience, physical interaction, empathy, ability to percieve different levels of learning ability and adjust to such, ability to adapt to more than simply facial & physical expressions. Robots are a long way off from that, not to mention how many have ever had anything published?
