Robots can do physical work only and may help teachers in lecturer arrangement and management. We have already audio/ video recording facility. Lectures are also available on internet. But it couldn't replaced TEACHER.

No. Exponential knowledge automation will definitely change the way of how we do pedagogics, medicine and finance in the next 2-3 decades. The greatest automation effect is on everything related to manufacturing, which already switched to a techno-cognitive discipline, just take, for example, engineering design.
Some artificial body parts with artificial supply of artificial blood etc. may be used for proper understanding of physiological processes to the Medical students in near future.
Many such "robots" will be used in different education sectors within a few years, I suppose.
It may cause appointment of lesser number of teachers, but it will definitely make education more easy and interesting.
I read that a new edition of robots has learned to tell good jokes to people. If I could actually succeed by a robot in motivating people to do something valuable or get rid of their depressions, I would rethink the usefulness of robots in learning.
Teacher-student relationships play an important role in learning. Feelings of empathy, sense of humor and understanding are important qualities for a good teacher and it is difficult to acquire from the robot.
Many researchers believe that education is much more than a transfer of knowledge. The teacher's classroom role cannot be compensated by any technological means, although many acknowledge that the technologies used - especially the Internet - have made a significant difference in the teacher's role in the learning process.
I believe that robots will help teachers to teach, but they will never replace teachers. The labor of teachers is irreplaceable. They will never educate as we do.
Certainly robots can assist, for example, in laboratories but cannot replace a teacher. It can also assist while the instructor is dealing with "dangerous" demonstrations such as in chemistry and nuclear science as well as spill clean up or diffusing explosives.
I think one should write a book for children about what we expect from the school robot and what it is capable of.
1) For example, the teacher can check whether the child has learned the vocabulary correctly, even with optimal pronunciation (if the robot has been given the textbook-programme to "eat" beforehand). Those students who have done everything correctly will be informed by the robot, which will then ask if the student would rather have a handshake, a hug or a kiss in the tub as a reward. Then you just have to press a black, green or red button.
2) The robot is good for class discipline: If the teacher has to go to the headmaster and the class gets restless, the teacher simply presses the corresponding discipline program. There should also be little surprises in his program with which undisciplined students are called to account or have to fear something unpleasant. If the children are obedient, the robot can sing or dance something very beautiful.
3) The robot can also very well settle small social conflicts among the pupils, but also if there are differences of opinion among the teachers.
4) If there are cases of learning difficulties, the robot can always make an anamnesis with the child and his parents while the teacher is still teaching in another class. The teacher only has to pull the sheet with the case description, the diagnosis and the therapy proposal of the robot out of the printer.
5) Cooking coffee and fetching rolls for the big break in earlier times used to be done by the school janitor, now the robot takes care of everything. He also makes sure that the pupils leave the classroom without any paper lying on the floor and that no one has forgotten to take anything with them. But these are only suggestions for the beginning.
6) When the age of robots really starts, the teachers will only have to spend half the time in school, half the time off: the robot takes care of the introductions and supervises the tests. However, the teachers only get half of their previous salary. The robot costs are not quite low.
Of course, dear Bruce! We should let our imagination run wild here, and I think your suggestion is particularly good. The robot can also create lasting peace, you only have to enter the right program. If you think that's a bit crazy, I'll tell you: Wait! Because the progress of technology has so far caught up with all human fantasies again and again - and mostly surpassed them!
Robot is no more information center and can not influence the student as much as the professor and without the professor, the robot does not differ from the book and professor remains as the bridge between knowledge and student
I don't mind a robot that first stores the correct pronunciation and emphasis, the vocabulary and the grammar from the language textbooks, and when this process is completed, passes it on to my brain through a simple transformation. In this way, we can learn a foreign language very and very effectively and very quickly.
