Robot-as-a-ServiceWe bridge the education gap,
from anywhere.
The world is changing and with it, the way we learn. Challenged, ill or remote students are no longer bound to a second rate educational experience.
Australians have access to some of the best education in the world, but too often, it's only available in certain locations.
Your students deserve the best education regardless of their circumstances.
It's a sad reality that not every child in Australia has access to a great education. There are many kids who live in rural areas or who are sick and unwell that can't attend mainstream classrooms.
However, we know that telepresence robots are helping to close the education gap. Telepresence robots are teleoperated robots that allow remote students to remotely participate in activities. For example, a telepresence robot could be used to allow a child suffering from immunocompromise to attend school remotely.
The child would be able to see and hear their classmates and teachers, and in addition, telepresence robots could be used to bring classes to rural areas, or rural areas to classrooms!
This would provide children in rural areas with access to the same quality of education as those in urban areas. As telepresence technology continues to develop, it has the potential to transform education and make it more inclusive for all children in Australia.
Connect Alumni to your current students.
Imagine being able to bring alumni working in the media, tv, and film or any industry to connect with current students in your classes and allow them to talk through feedback on their program or projects.
Many schools are leveraging alumni using telepresence robots to remotely attend classes and provide feedback and mentoring to current students. The telepresence robot allowed the alumni to see and hear what was happening in the room, as well as control the robot's movements. This allows them to interact with the students and provide real feedback on their work from those who have been there before.
This is a great example of how telepresence robots can be used to connect people who are geographically separated, with common goals and outcomes to achieve!
Telepresence for Education is here
In the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic, schools and universities have been forced to adapt in order to continue providing education. One of the most significant changes has been the rise of telepresence. Telepresence allows students and teachers to attend classes remotely, using a robot to represent them in the physical classroom. This technology has a number of advantages, particularly in preventing the spread of illness.
Telepresence is also revolutionising attendance in a post-COVID world. By removing the need to physically travel to school or university, telepresence robots are making it easier for students and teachers to attend classes, even if they are unable to leave their homes. In a post-COVID world, telepresence is likely to become an essential part of education, making it more accessible and convenient for everyone involved.
Telepresence robots have been shown to provide a more lifelike experience that is closer to face-to-face conversation.
This is due to the fact that telepresence robots allow students to retain eye contact and body language cues that are essential for communication and brain development.
