  1. I would never let a robot to take care of my children. First of all, for me, it sounds a little cruel to let a robot to take care of my children because, robots don't have emotions, which means they don't have hearts. Raising a kid is not easy because parents have to be affectionate with their children and it's impossible to do it without emotions and hearts. In addition, if the parents let a robot to look after their kids and I think they're such irresponsible.

    1. Hi, Momo. I agree with you. If parents let a robot to look after their kids, it's irresponsible. And, it makes parents leave with their children.

  2. Even though scientists develop the care robots for children, I would not buy them. I think it is important for children to give affections and warmth from parents to grow up kind people. If they do not feel affections in childhood, they cannot perform gentle to others. They will grow up like robots because babies learn from other's behaviors. Perhaps, they cannot understand common sense and morality because nobody teach them. That is why I think we have to bring up our children by our hands.

  3. I don't want to let a robot should take care of my children. Children are said to mirror their parents. Children always see their parents and they learn from their parents. However, what's happen if a robot take care of children? I think these children don't have their own personality, because they always watch the robot and imitate it. It means children become like a robot. Human should take care of human. That's my opinion.

    1. Hi, Yuma. I have same opinion with you. Children imitate their parent to learn something. If robots take care of children, they will imitate robots!! It is so scary. I hope to bring up children by human hand.

  4. For me, I do not want to let a robot take care of my children. First, I will take care my children Second, robot is machine, they does not have emotion. Children are affected by environment, and children are learn from others. If robot take care children, they will grow up like robots. Third, I think when someone get baby, take care their baby is theirs obligations and responsibility.

    1. Hi, Haoquing. Me too. I do not want to buy a care robot for children whatever I am busy. I think children have to take care of parents because they learn many things from parents. The baby has great learning skill because they do not know everything. So if robots always stay with them, they will become like robots.
