A Chinese student sparked a debate earlier this week after her mother discovered the teenage girl bought a robot and trained it to imitate her handwriting so she can finish her homework.
The teen spent 800 yuan， about $120， on the robot that copied her handwriting， Qianjiang Evening News reported. She then used the robot to copy Chinese phrases dozens of times for an assignment that required students to repeatedly write Chinese characters to help them learn how to read and write.
She finished her Chinese writing assignment in two days. Her mother， sensing something was going wrong， discovered the robot in her daughters room and reportedly smashed the machine.
The mother then took to the popular social media platform Weibo to complain about her daughters tactics. She received doubt from others in her post：“It can help you with homework， but can it help you on tests？”
Several users， however， applauded the teens creative idea to quickly finish her assignments that was given during the Lunar New Year break. “Give her a break. How meaningful is copying anyway？” one commenter asked， The New York Times reported. Another person said，“The difference between humans and other animals is that they know how to make and use tools. This young lady already knows how to do this.”
Xie Xun， the creator of the robot， said it was designed to be a machine that could help people complete drafts of drawings， but it was also able to simulate peoples handwriting. “The machine is very easy to take apart and assemble， and it can be used after putting the program into the computer.”
A retailer （零售商） on Taobao， Chinas biggest e?commerce platform， said the writing robot can write at about 40 words per minute， and most of his customers are students. He said it is not difficult to distinguish between a persons handwriting and that of the writing robot because the robots writing is flawless （完美的）.
Xie said that he had not expected it would be used in such a way by students. And children are good at using technology， which might be a good thing as it stimulated （激励） their interest in exploring it.
