Avatar robot ends sick children's isolation
A French institute is enabling sick children to do daily activities using robots.
Children who spend long weeks in a sterile room can feel devastated and isolated after a while.
Institute of Hematology and Pediatric Oncology (IHOPE) in Lyon is changing that state using robots that can simulate a normal life style for the kids.
Thanks to tele-presence, children can leave their isolated rooms using a robot avatar and attend classes or engage in other daily activities.
The avatar’s face also lets them literally have vis-à-vis conversations.
The initiative will be tested and analyzed for two years before it can be mass produced. But it’s already very popular among children who have been given a new life.
