The article introduces Meltzoff's essay and explores the possibility of robot teachers. If we really use a robot teachers, what area is the most suitable to use for educating children? This kind of detail knowledge is much helpful than broad and often ambiguous idea that often cause confusion and even fear. (Too much sci-fi movie?) "The essay, published in the July 17 issue of the journal Science, outlines new insights into how humans learn now and could learn in the future, based on various studies including some that document the amazing amount of brain development that happens in infants and later on in childhood." "The essay is the first published article as part of a collaboration between the TDLC and the LIFE Center, both of which are funded under multimillion-dollar grants from the National Science Foundation. Meltzoff's other co-authors on the essay are Patricia Kuhl of the University of Washington and Javier Movellan of the TDLC."
