Summary | The robot Cozmo is now available in Germany. It is a toy, Cozmo plays with its users. While he is appropriate for children to use (as long as they are not too young because of choking hazards) but also entertaining for adults. He has a huge repertoire of emotions but also understands the difference between emotions and personality meaning that he does not stay bitter after having been angry once. He can memorize his owner's face and respond to his surrounding in various other ways with the help of artificial intelligence.

Summary | Linguists are currently working on robots who can teach foreign languages to children. It is a new research field and it is being tested in several childcare institutions and kindergardens. The results show that children learn better when they are emotionally invested and that is the main advantage of a robot versus just a tablet.The robot is more humanoid and responds emotionally (with praise for correct answers for instance). Recent studies say that 70% of pre-schoolers user their parents' smartphones or tablets for more than 30 minutes a day when that should be the maximum screen time (including TV) a child has per day.
