Study Shows Kids Into Robots For Doing Chores, Playtime

Here’s something that may not come as a surprise to many: Kids think robots are cooler than their parents or teachers when it comes to learning new stuff and playtime.

The new study was conducted by research firm Latitude with LEGO Learning Institute and Project Synthesis.

The study talked to kids aged 8 to 12 from Australia, France, Germany, South Africa, the UK and the US and the result was one might expect as kids view a world of robots as helpful in doing house chores and playtime.

The kids were asked to describe how they foresee living with robots and were also told to draw their impression of it.  About 38% said robots will be helpful in their studies while another 38% sees robots as their playmates, no surprise there.
