If you child attends the Early Childhood Education Center in San Diego you might have noticed that there is a new teacher's assistant added to the program recently. Rubi is the short one with the funny looking nose. No, I am not making fun of the teacher because of their height or appearance. In this case the teacher's assistant is a robot. The robot, named Rubi is part of an experiment being conducted by the University of California San Diego. Rubi (short for Robot Using Bayesian Inference) is a learning robot that learns from its interactions with the students. So check it out. Rubi sure doesn't look like my kindergarden teacher.
