Emotional education proxy
Proxy your child’s emotional education through Moxie, a cloud-connected gender-less desktop-size teal-colored garbage bin, which will most probably end up in the mountains of e-trash along with their Nabaztag friends.

Security Robot Knocks Toddler To The Ground Then Runs Him Over At Stanford Shopping Center
A Palo Alto toddler was injured last Thursday after his parents claim a security robot at the Stanford Shopping Center knocked him over and then proceeded to run him over
Human-like grace and precision
Robots using this technology are ideally suited for naturally compliant and life-like interaction with people. When tele-operated, the low friction and lack of play allow the transmission to faithfully transmit contact forces to the operator, providing a high-fidelity remote sense of touch.

Why Do Children Abuse Robots?
The researchers—from ATR Intelligent Robotics and Communication Laboratories, Osaka University, Ryukoku University, and Tokai University, in Japan—patrolled a public shopping complex in Osaka with a remotely operated Robovie 2. Whenever somebody obstructed the robot’s path, it would politely ask the human to step aside. If the human didn’t listen, the robot moved in the opposite direction.
Over the course of the study, researchers found that children were sometimes all too eager to give the robot a hard time. Particularly when in packs and unsupervised, the youngsters would intentionally block Robovie’s way.
The tots’ behavior often escalated, and sometimes they’d get violent, hitting and kicking Robovie. They also engaged in verbal abuse, calling the robot “bad words.”
