Robot set to replace science teachers
Do we actually have any science teachers in the UK?
Agentless Backup is Not a Myth
The day when robots overthrow the human race has taken one step closer with the launch of a break-dancing mechanoid designed to teach our offspring about physics, maths, biology and engineering.
ED-E dances, flips and jumps for money on command
ED-E can perform jumps, head-spins and back-flips thanks to 17 small motors within his semi-transparent blue body. His moves are initiated using a console-style controller.
Bundled software lets kids program ED-E to perform a set series of moves. For example, if they want him to do two back-flips followed by a jump, then they drag the required position of the robot’s joints into the on-screen movie frame and add the required time delay between movements.
ED-E's transparent body lets kids see how he ticks
The performance can be previewed on-screen and then uploaded onto the controller, from where ED-E will perform his routine.
ED-E is suitable for kids aged seven and upwards, but maker RM told us that if you’re just a big kid at heart than you can buy an ED-E online for £428 ($592/€450).

Chemistry?
Our chemistry teacher used to set of explosions. Robots are routinely used to handle explosives
May I suggest...
that teachers replace the robots teaching *everything* at my old school.
ED-what?
Is this the lettered prototype to be followed by the numbered versions? Thus culminating a couple of hundred revisions later in the model we've already come to know and love as ED-209?
Mine's the one with "It's just a glitch" printed on the back, thanks.
