Jill Watson, an IBM-designed robot, has been helping graduate students at Georgia Institute of Technology (美国佐治亚理工大学) solve problems with their design projects. When answering their questions, Jill seems to be an excellent teacher. She can give wonderful answers quickly. She sounds natural and usually says good words. After 5 months, the students were told that their "teacher" was a robot, and many were shocked.
