Kumamoto School in southwestern Japan will allow students who don’t attend school to control telepresence robots in the classroom. This is quite unusual because in Japan, school attendance for minors is nearly 100%, but many have stopped going to school after the pandemic<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n

The organizers of the initiative are hopeful that this setup will encourage students to return to class<\/strong>, although the effectiveness of the measure remains to be seen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Starting in the next two months, two robots will be used for the pilot program, each equipped with microphones, speakers, cameras, and a tablet to enable two-way communication. The one-meter-tall robot will be controlled from home by the student through a computer<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With their built-in wheels, the robots can even move around the school, though it must be admitted that they will need assistance when dealing with challenging obstacles, such as stairs. Japan is quite fond of robots, especially Gundams<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
