Information for Robot Teacher

Robot teacher calls roll, smiles and scolds, drawing laughter from students with her eerily lifelike face. But the Japanese developer says it is not just about to replace human instructor. Unlike more mechanical looking robots like Honda's Asimo, the robot teacher, called saya, can express six basic emotions-surprise, fear, disgust, anger, happiness, sadness-because its rubber skin is being pulled from the back with motors and writing around the eyes and the mouth.

In a demonstration, the robot's mouth popped open, its eyes widened and eyebrows arched to appear surprised.

Information of Emotional Trauma

Emotional trauma needs no introduction. Whether it is the loss of a loved one, failure in a chosen career or the death of a cherished relationship, the resultant mental anguish is more than some people can cope with. Emotional trauma occurs when an extreme life experience causes high levels of stress that shatter the individuals ability to cope or logically process the occurrence and generate a solution.

Indications: such psychological distress is characterised by elevated anxiety and emotionality, by elevated anxiety and emotionality, extreme sensitivity, withdrawal, regression to childish methods of coping, taking rash decisions, depression, neglecting responsibilities and loss of self-esteem. Reactions such as guilt and feelings of insecurity and isolation some times lead to extreme actions like suicide or homicide. It is not uncommon to lose focus and the ability to think rationally. This often induces at risk persons to resort to behaviour that is further damaging What can be done: Dealing with emotional trauma is crucial not only to help the individual live a normal life, but also for others around them. Disturbing past experiences and an obsessive fear of failure plague the traumatised. It is important to help them realise that it is possible to take control of their intensified emotions, and get over the awful phase that they are going through. Cognitive behavioural therapy helps identify and alter self-critical and faulty thought patterns that may trigger the trauma. It also helps to explore causes of the symptoms and work out any conflicts in relationships that have a negative influence.

My Unique Experience

This happened when I was two years old.My mother left me in the balcony for some time while she went about her chores.My brother was away at school and my father had gone to the bank.While playing I noticed a small round mirror had fallen off my mother's Saree as it dried on the washing line.I used to put everything in my mouth,the mirror was no exception.While I was chewing the mirror my father returned home and came to play with me in the balcony.When he saw I was chewing something,he asked me to open my mouth.My tongue was bleeding and my mouth was full of broken bits of mirror.My father called the doctor.The doctor told him to wash my mouth and give me two or three bananas.The mirror pieces stuck to the banana and passed out through the stools the next day.
