Sounds like it could be an interesting, though completely immoral, experiment. Robots like these are being designed to help Japan deal with an aging and soon to be shrinking population which will create a lack of caregivers. They have similar robots that are supposed to watch over the elderly.

Or the batteries running out. Now this is the kind of innovation I was hoping for when I had a child! Bring me the lifestyle of the future, hooray!
