Robotic teachers have the potential to assist human teachers by performing certain repetitive tasks like marking homework, delivering standardized content, and providing 24/7 access to students. However, human teachers remain necessary for their ability to connect with students emotionally, manage behavior, answer difficult questions, and share life experiences. While robots can help with guided learning, human teachers are still needed to oversee classrooms, support struggling students, and handle situations requiring human qualities like feelings, problem-solving skills, and morality. Overall, robotic teachers are not meant to replace but rather assist human teachers in education.

2. WHAT ARE ROBOTS?
• Industrial robots are automated, programmable and capable of movement on two or
more axes.
• Some robots are programmed to faithfully carry out specific actions over and over again
(repetitive actions) without variation and with a high degree of accuracy.
• Robots that resemble humans are known as androids; however, many robots aren't built
on the human model.
• Industrial robots, for example, are often designed to perform repetitive tasks that aren't
facilitated by a human-like construction.
• A robot can be remotely controlled by a human operator, sometimes from a great
distance.

4. ROBOTIC TEACHERS VS HUMAN TEACHERS

5. TASKS THAT COULD BE DONE BY ROBOTS
• Artificial intelligence has become an increasingly big issue for education
• Robotic teachers can conduct lessons like maths, science and languages
• Robots are much more likely to be used as learning tools than as teachers in a
classroom.
• They can mark the learners’ home works
• They are able to perform the tasks repetiveley
• They provide guided learning through feedback

6. TASKS THAT ROBOTS CAN DO BETTER
THAT HUMAN TEACHERS
• They have many ways of delivering the content and information that human
teachers can.
• They can be available 24 hours per day for students with computer access. This is
potentially more effective than students doing homework by themselves.
• They can easily make examples because they have more information.
• They can reach students in far-flung parts of the world who may have very limited
access to education on advanced topics.

7. TASKS THAT ROBOTS CAN DO BETTER
THAT HUMAN TEACHERS
• While teachers are forced to deliver the majority of learning in a whole-class setting,
artificial intelligence can deliver tailored learning, carefully evaluating every
response to calibrate when to stick with the current topic and when to move onto the
next.
• Robots are available for 24 hours

10. ROLES OF HUMAN TEACHERS
• Human beings are naturally gifted with ‘strong sensory feelings’ or what we say
emotions, which is artificially imposed in Robot teachers, and some robots do not have
emotions.
• Human beings have different behavioural and psychological levels that define their
social skills and interactivity.
• Human teachers can reach out for each and every learner, giving them the psychological
that they might need.
• A teacher is also looking after the students in the class, spotting those experiencing
difficulties and supporting them as necessary. In this sense it is one of the most human
jobs we have.

11. ROLE OF A TEACHER
• Teachers should be present in class to manage the class since these robots cannot do
everything on their own.
• The school itself cannot be managed by the robots, so even if the robots teach,
human teachers are still needed.
• Teachers are there to answer the really difficult questions when students get stuck.
• Teachers are there to share their experiences in life, to relate to the students one
human to another.

12. HUMAN TEACHER
Here the teacher is actually reaching
out for her pupils to give each one of
them the assistance they need.

13. WILL TEACHERS BE STILL NEEDED
• Yes, teachers will still be needed.
• There's a uniqueness in human teacher that robot teachers do not have, e.g
discipline, humanity and morality.
• Human beings have feelings and emotions, given a scenario of learners fighting in
class, teachers can use their feelings , emotions and their problem solving skills to
solve that problem .
