I would expect their educational material to cover ethics and how to behave toward other humans. I'd expect their entertainment to include a good dose of movies and TV shows and written fiction that involves multiple humans interacting so they can pick up a lot from that.

I'd also expect that children raised exclusively by robots would be raised in the company of other similarly raised children that they would play and socialize with, giving them some experience and chance to practice what they learn formally in school and informally from movies/tv/books.

Kids need love, not that. Giving them instruction without love doesn't work at all.

The reverse works fine.

Yikes. You would raise a generation of severely damaged psychopaths if you did that.
