IEEE Spectrum: Invasion of the Robot Babies (Infographic): "Did you notice there's been a proliferation of robot infants, robot toddlers, and robot children in the past few years?

They build them for a good reason: These bots help researchers not only learn more about robotics but also investigate human cognition, language acquisition, and motor development. Some Japanese researchers even say robot babies could help introduce young people to the wonders of parenthood and boost birth rates. Yes, robot babies help make real babies!"
