Is California now sending robots to school?

Qrio, a humanoid robot developed by a Sony Intelligence Dynamics Laboratories Inc has been attending a nursery school in California since March to play with children up to 2 years of age in an experiment to help develop a robot that can “live in harmony with humans in the future.”

This is very scary, not because of any “2001” scenario of robots taking over the world.   My biggest fear is that these robots won’t be able to pass any of their standardized tests after going through the California school system.
