A small robot may help children who are recovering from longterm illnesses in the hospital or at home. These children may feel isolated from their friends and classmates. The robot takes their place at school. Through the robot, the children can hear their teachers and friends. They also can take part in class from wherever they are recovering.
Anyone who has a longterm illness knows that recovering at home can be lonely. This can be especially true for children. They may feel left out. Now, these children may have a hightech friend to help feel less lonely. That friend is a robot. The robot is called AV1. AV1 goes to school for a child who is homebound while recovering from a longterm illness. And the child's school friends must help. They carry the robot between classes and place the robot on the child's desk.
A Norwegian company called No Isolation created the robot. The cofounders of No Isolation are Karen Dolva and Marius Aabel. Dolva explains how the robot AV1 works. She says, “From home, the child uses an iPad or a phone to start the robot. Then they use the same device to control the robot's movements. At school, the robot becomes the eyes, ears and voice of the child.”
So, it sits at the child's desk in the classroom and the child uses an iPad or a phone to start it, control its movement with touch, and talk through it.
The student can take part in classroom activities from wherever they are recovering — whether at home or from a hospital bed. The robot is equipped with speakers, microphones and cameras that make communication easy.
