March 16, 2026

A robot called AV1 has been developed to assist students who are absent from school due to serious health issues. This robot allows students at home or in the hospital to participate in lessons in real-time. Through a tablet or mobile device, students can listen, speak, and interact with their classmates. The device occupies the student's desk, providing a digital presence in the educational process. This technology has already benefited around 10,000 children across Europe.
