It is a helpful robot designed to solve two common problems we face: losing focus and repeating mistakes in our homework. The Smart Study Pal sits on your desk. It has two big eyes which are special cameras. When it notices you stop paying attention to your books, it will remind you in a friendly voice to focus on your task. What's more, it can scan your homework after you finish. If it finds any mistakes, it will provide similar questions for you to practice, helping you understand and learn from your errors. I believe this invention is very useful. It makes studying more efficient and less stressful. My hope is that the Smart Study Pal can become a true friend to every student, making learning a happier and more successful journey. 1 / 13 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
