I agree with the importance of the question: "Will robots that look like humans be taken less seriously than a stolid, hardy robot without the foolish grin?"
I think the big problem with robots in education (and elsewhere) is our abortive attempt to make them human-like.
When we can figure that out, we can move to another level.
Work well! Not look good!
