# data[].attributes.body

I think having a robot walk across the stage for me is a terrible idea.I say this because i’ve been waiting years for this moment to come and now robot are walking across the stage for me ? Personally,I disagree because us students should be collecting what we earned during the year we should be the ones proud of ourselves for all the hard work -not no robot getting what we waited for.I really wouldn’t want a robot earning something I was supposed to earn.I feel like we should be the ones graduating and celebrating all are successful work !.

# data[].attributes.body
I think it will be nice if we had robots they can help blind people

# data[].attributes.body
I would like to attend my graduation ceremony because i have work hard and wait for this moment to come but with this coronavirus pandemic i will not attend my graduation for the safety of myself and others.I think it is a good idea to have robots to attend my graduation and i will be home on my computer and watch it,I knew it wouldn't be excited but i have to do it.

# data[].attributes.body
I feel like having robots walking across the stage for my graduation ceremony is a BAD idea. Its bad because I should be able to walk across that stage with my diploma in my hand because im the one who worked all these months an years to get were I am. Plus this is my last few months in elementary school and i wanna be able to have that last moment standing in front of the people that supported and help me get to were i am

# data[].attributes.body
i think robot should take are place because we would not have to go outside to do something.

# data[].attributes.body
it a bad idea that we won't have our first diploma and the other reason is that we were leaving the school with our friends and teachers of sayin thank you for making us a good and great student.

# data[].attributes.body
i think it would be a bad idea because were not going to  able to have a chance to have a diploma in are hands and also we wont get the chance to feel what its like to walk on the stage and get cheers and also we worked hard to get a graduation and would not even get the chance at least to celebrate.

# data[].attributes.body
I think having a robot going across the stage instead of me and other is a bad idea because I should be able to go across the room to get my own diploma since getting my diploma is a great thing and I wouldn't want a robot to do something I have to do

# data[].attributes.body
I think it Would be a bad idea that a robot will walk across the stage for me.

I think robots should take our place in stage because either way we will have masks on and not even be a picture

# data[].attributes.body
Hi

# data[].attributes.body
I think it’s a bad idea because we were the ones who achieve our goal to make it to the next grade and we shouldn’t give our hype to robots that don’t even know what there doing and we should be the ones up there because it’s our time to celebrate with humans and we don’t want robots to take our control that humans know how to do

# data[].attributes.body
I think it would be us on zoom and getting a big space or a hallwayS and walk thru the big space or hallways and clap for us

# data[].attributes.body
I think having robot walk across the stage for me is something that I dis agree with. I want to be the one to experience walking across the stage to receive my own diploma that I worked so hard for not no robot.

# data[].attributes.body
I think having robots to replace students or anyone during a pandemic such has the one we are experiencing is a good way of social distancing and saving lives. On the other hand, I find that having any robots is kind of scary.

# data[].attributes.body
I’m not really a big fan of this robot graduation because i want to experience it in person not having a robot do it and if you think of it it is really sad not actually having real people and it wouldn’t feel as special because I am not really there and also I think having your face on a robot is just really weird but this is just my opinion

# data[].attributes.body
I think if robot walk across the stage for you it would be also amazing because then you never need to miss it. And the robot would look like a graduation suit with the student's head that their calling on top of the robots head.

# data[].attributes.body
i think that if robots walk across the stage for people would be amazing because then you would really never have to miss it. It would be a great idea.

# data[].attributes.body

Japan has always been at the forefront of robotic technology. Over the years, the androids have been deployed to work in banks, run hotels, and even serve as personal assistants to the elderly. Now, in what is being hailed as an "industry first," a Tokyo university has used avatar robots to enable students to "attend" their graduation ceremony without leaving home.

Professor Shugo Yanaka, Dean of Global Business Administration at Business Breakthrough University (BBT), came up with the brilliant idea after the coronavirus pandemic forced them to rethink the in-person spring graduation ceremony. He told Euronews Living, "We knew that there were lots of students who would like to attend the graduation ceremony but wouldn't be able to do so due to Coronavirus concern. I suddenly came up with an idea of the Avatar Graduation Ceremony."

The event, which was held at Tokyo's Hotel Grand Palace on March 28, 2020, started with university president Kenichi Omae delivering an uplifting commencement speech to the students attending via video-conferencing platform Zoom. Then began the virtual graduation ceremony.

Each time a student's name was called out by a moderator, one of the two remotely operated "Newme" avatar robots, dressed in graduation caps and gowns, motored to the podium to accept the diploma from the president. The graduate was able to experience the event, and hear the handful of school staff in attendance clap and shout-out their "congratulations," via a digital tablet attached to each Newme's head. Once Mr. Omae had placed the certificate on a rack, mounted on the Newme's midsection, the beaming students remotely posed with him for an official graduation photo.

Following the groundbreaking ceremony, a graduate of BBT University who graduated via Newme said, "When I enrolled, I never thought I would operate my avatar and attend the graduation ceremony. However, receiving a diploma in public is a novel experience."

Once the COVID-19 pandemic is over, Newme creator ANA Holdings has plans to deploy the slim, 4.9-foot (1.5-meter) tall machine to "travel" to destinations worldwide on behalf of humans. The company believes it will enable business people to attend meetings remotely, allow people with mobility issues to go on "vacation," and help doctors treat critically-ill patients in hard-to-reach places, such as Antarctica or the space station. The robots could also enable experts to access disaster-stricken areas or war zones without endangering themselves.
