4M: The Robot Teacher by Michele Tedeschi https://padlet.com/mtedeschi1/o8tt8jbu55o9 Describe Saya and Baxter, the two robots discussed in the lesson. How are they similar to and different from humans? Support your response with information from the lesson. en-us 2017-05-12 11:42:56 UTC 2025-11-02 13:16:42 UTC hello@padlet.com TJ mtedeschi1 https://padlet.com/mtedeschi1/o8tt8jbu55o9/wish/171907086 There are similarities and differences between baxter and saya. They are similar because both can understand human emotion ''Dig Deeper'' states ''Baxter is being used to check out groceries. But he can respond to human feedback.'' and ''The robot eacher states ''She can show surprise, fear, disgust, anger, happiness, and sadness.'' This proves they have similarities because they both can show and understand human emoyion.
        They are different because they have different jobs. The text dig deeper states '' Baxter is being used to check out groceries.'' and ''Robot teacher'' states'' Saya is a robot that was being controlled by a human who was using cameras to watch the class.'' This proves they have differences because they have different jobs.
       To sum things up, those were the similarities and differances between Baxter and saya the robots.

In the article The Robot Teacher it says" Unlike some other robots, Saya can show six emotions. She can show surprise and fear.  She can look happy or sad." This shows that, Saya can show emotions like humans.In the article The Robot Teacher it says"They call him Baxter. Baxter checks out groceries. He can respond to human feedback. He will change his actions to match what is needed." This proves that, Baxter can do things that humans can do. To sum it up, Saya and Baxter are similar to humans.
 
 
          Saya and Baxter are diffrent from humans. In the article The Robot Teather it says"Will Saya ever take the place of a real teacher? Experts say no. Robots can show emotion, but robots don't actually feel emotion. Therefore, they don't understand people. They are just tools intended to help people." This explains that Saya can't feel emotion so she dosen't understand people. In the article The Robot Teacher it says"For example, say Baxter handles a carton of eggs too roughly. The eggs will break. A person can show Baxter how to make a more gentle movement. Baxter's programming will change. Baxter will handle the next carton more carefully." This shows that Baxter needs help from people to do his job. All in all, Saya and Baxter are diffrent from humans.
 
        As you can see Saya and Baxter are simailar and diffrent from humans.

An example that shows how they are similar is "Saya seems human, because she is designed to be as lifelike as possible. The robot teacher can be made to say any of 700 phrases in response to whatever is being said to her. Unlike more mechanical-looking robots, like Honda Motor Company's Asimo, Saya can express six basic emotions. Motors and wiring around her eyes and mouth allow her to convey feelings of surprise, fear, disgust, anger, happiness, and sadness." This shows that the robots are similar to humans. An example that shows that they are different is ".....a robot can convey information to a student but can't go beyond that. Robots can be programmed to express emotion, but since they don't actually feel emotion, they don't understand people." This shows that robots have differences from humans. To sum it up, robots have many similarities and differences from humans.]]> 2017-05-15 22:46:35 UTC https://padlet.com/mtedeschi1/o8tt8jbu55o9/wish/171965307 ALEXA https://padlet.com/mtedeschi1/o8tt8jbu55o9/wish/171969582  Saya and Baxter have both similarities to and differences from humans.  Both of these robots are similar to humans because both are performing tasks that humans are already doing.  Saya, a teaching robot, is similar to a human teacher.  According to the text, she is abe to give directions to students, respond to students with over 700 phrases, and express 6 emotions facially.  Baxter, a grocery checkout robot, is similar to humans because "he" is able to change his actions based upon human feedback. "...if Baxter handles a carton of eggs too roughly, the eggs will break. However, a person can show Baxter how to make a more gentle movement.  This causes Baxter's programming to change". This proves that both Saya and Baxter performing tasks in a similar manner to the way a human would. 

       In contrast, Saya and Baxter are also extremely diffrerent from humans.  Their primary difference from humans is that niether robot is able to feel an emotion or learn something without being programmed to do so.  As stated in the text, "The robot has no intelligence. It has no ability to learn. It has no identity...It is just a tool."   This proves that robots are different from humans at a very basic but important level. As you can see, Saya and Baxter have simalarites to and differences from humans. ]]> 2017-05-15 23:37:14 UTC https://padlet.com/mtedeschi1/o8tt8jbu55o9/wish/171969582 kiersten https://padlet.com/mtedeschi1/o8tt8jbu55o9/wish/172167682           The two robots are very similar because they don't have any feelings.  An example, from the text is "however robots don't actually feel emotion, they don't understand people."  This demensrates, that the two robots are very similar, because they have no feelings. All and all, this shows that robots have no feelings or emotion.


          The two robots are very different because saya teaches in school and Baxster checks out groceries. An example from the text is "saya took over a fifth and sixth grade class in Tokyo japan, and "Baxster is being used to take out groceries".  This shows, that they are very different. To sum things up, this shows that saya and baxster have differences.

Humans CAN feel emotions. Baxter is different from humans because he might handel eggs to roughly but a person can be careful with eggs. To sum it up saya and baxter are some what different from humans.]]> 2017-05-16 22:44:36 UTC https://padlet.com/mtedeschi1/o8tt8jbu55o9/wish/172211418 Kevin K-Rod https://padlet.com/mtedeschi1/o8tt8jbu55o9/wish/172458600      Describe Saya and Baxter

       Saya and Baxter have similarities. The article states, " Scientists and engineers at Cornell University are now testing a robot named Baxter." This proves Baxter and Saya are both robots. To sum it up, Saya and Baxter have similarities.  
 
        Saya and Baxter have differences. The article states, "Saya took over a class of fifth- and sixth-graders in Tokyo, Japan." This proves Saya teaches fifth and sixth graders. In addition the article states, " Baxter is being used to check out groceries." This shows Baxter checks out groceries and Saya teaches. To sum things up, Saya and Baxter have differences.
________________________________How are they similar to and different from humans?   

     Saya and Baxter have similarities to humans. The article states, " In one demonstration, Saya displayed her ability to show emotion." This shows the robots can show emotions and so can humans. To sum it up, Saya and Baxter have similarities to humans.
 
      Saya and Baxter have differences to humans. The article states,"Robots can be programmed to express emotion, but since they don't actually feel emotion, they don't understand people." This proves that the robots can express feelings but can't feel them while humans can express and feel feelings. To sum it up, Saya and Baxter have differences to humans.

              Saya and Baxter are different frm humans because humans need to controll the robot on a computer instead of the robots having all those bones, organs and blood. the passage says " She was being controlled by a human, The robot teacher can say any of 700 phrases. Unlike more mechanical-looking robots, Saya can express six emotions. She can show surprise, fear, disgust, anger, happiness, and sadness." this shows she( the robot saya) is controlled by a computer to show all emotions. 
To sum everything up, these are the similarities and differences between saya, baxter and the humans.

This proves that humans have emotions and robots can too.  Another reason is "The teacher took attendance by calling out each student's name. When necessary, she shouted orders like "Be quiet!"'  this quote proves that it is the same as the teachers do it they say something like be quiet too.  To sum it up, there is a lot of similarities but also differences too.
 
      Robots and humans are also different too.  According to the article,it says "For example, if Baxter handles a carton of eggs too roughly, the eggs will break," this proves that people can be gentle and not break any eggs.  Another reason is that "Saya is a robot that was being controlled by a human who was using cameras to watch the class." this quote proves that we humans are not controlled by a human we are a human. to finish this up, i think  humans and robots have lots of differences and some similarities

They can be the same as humans. A quote from the article says: "For example, say Baxter handles a carton of eggs too roughly. The eggs will break. A person can show Baxter how to make a more gentle movement. Baxter's programming will change. Baxter will handle the next carton more carefully." This quote proves that if a person hands an egg carton too roughly too a person, they would also know not to do that again because they broke. Plus, Baxter would change his programming since he did that. They can be different from humans. A quote from the article says: " Still, Saya can't see or hear." This quote proves that if Says can't hear, then the kids can probably do what they want. Sometimes, she just randomly screams out: "Be quiet!" ]]> 2017-05-18 20:22:06 UTC https://padlet.com/mtedeschi1/o8tt8jbu55o9/wish/172682879 Nate https://padlet.com/mtedeschi1/o8tt8jbu55o9/wish/172690384     Saya and Baxter are two robots that are similar to and different from humans in many ways. For exmaple one way they are alike is Saya can convey emotions. This proves that they are the same because both Saya and humans can convey emotions. For instance, one way Saya and Baxter are different from humans is that they don't feel emotions. This shows the two robots are different from humans because unlike the robots the humans can feel emotions. All in all, Saya and Baxter are similar and different from humans in many ways.]]> 2017-05-18 21:22:40 UTC https://padlet.com/mtedeschi1/o8tt8jbu55o9/wish/172690384 Amanda https://padlet.com/mtedeschi1/o8tt8jbu55o9/wish/172708493 Saya is a robot teacher that is being tested in Japan.  She is designed to look like a real person.  She can express six different emotions, many facial expressions, and over 700 words and phrases.  Baxter is being tested in a supermarket and is programmed to learn from what the other costumers teach him.  The robot has no intelligence. According to the text, "It has no identity." Kobayashi explained. "It is just a tool."  This quote proves that the robots have no mind, it is just programmed, which means they can not feel what we feel, and all the other senses because they are not people.  They are not living.  Another quote from the article is "It would be [a mistake] to think that such robots could replace a human teacher," Sharkey said. "[Many adults remember] that one teacher who inspired them. A robot cannot be that kind of inspirational role model."  This proves that these robots cannot be like the "inspiring" teacher because they aren't real teachers, they are just robots.  To sum things up,

     Saya and Baxter are similar to humans because they share some of the very same attributes. According to the text, "In one demonstration, Saya displayed her ability to show emotion. Her mouth popped open, her eyes widened, and her eyebrows arched to appear surprised. Her lips pulled back to make a smile. To express pleasure, she said simple preprogrammed phrases such as "Thank you," while her lips moved."  This quote proves that Saya could be like humans because  of her cabability to show emotions.  According to the dig deeper text, "For example, if Baxter handles a carton of eggs too roughly, the eggs will break. However, a person can show Baxter how to make a more gentle movement. This causes Baxter's programming to change. Then the next time a carton of eggs comes through, Baxter will handle it more carefully."  This quote proves that Baxter has the ability to learn, just like humans. To sum it all up,   Saya and Baxter are similar to humans because they share some of the very same attributes.  ]]> 2017-05-19 01:01:54 UTC https://padlet.com/mtedeschi1/o8tt8jbu55o9/wish/172708493 Shaili Shah https://padlet.com/mtedeschi1/o8tt8jbu55o9/wish/172711637           Saya and Baxter are robots that do human jobs. Saya is a robot that teaches children and Baxter performs errands around the house.  They Saya and Baxter have both similarities to and differences from humans.  Both of these are similar because they are doing things that humans have done and usually do every day.  Saya, a teaching robot, just like a teacher teaches every day but it might make the children feel uncomfortable. So, they are also different in ways. 

          I read that Saya can do six emotions and able to speak 700 phrases and words. She taught 5th and 6th graders. They made Saya because they thought that when the elders retired the robots would fill in.  

          Baxter, a grocery checkout robot, is similar to humans because he is able to change his reactions however only after a humans feedback.. "...if Baxter handles a carton of eggs too roughly, the eggs will break. However, a person can show Baxter how to make a more gentle movement.  This causes Baxter's programming to change". This quote proves that Baxter can be programmed to learn by humans like how human learns from their mistakes. But the diffrence is that Baxter can do what it has been programmed for and cannot make his own dissections.

          As you can see, Baxter and Saya are very helpful but not as good as humans. Scientists are doing research to help make other robots more useful. Robots could help people with even more important tasks in the future.

Also in the text it says "If Baxter handles eggs roughly they will break. But when a human shows his the right way to do it he will then do it tie next time the right way."This proves both robots are similar because Baxter learned from his mistake like people. To sum it up robots are somewhat common with humans.

The two robots are also different from humans. The text says" robots like these will not be able to take care of older people or people that are sick." This shows that the two robots are different to humans because humans will be able to take care of ill and old people. To sum it up the robots are different than humans.
