Brigitte Macron and Jean-Michel Blanquer discover Buddy, tele-education 🤖 robot for sick children 🧒

A World First: The French National Eudcation Minister announced the deployment of 4,000 telepresence robots 🤖 as part of the "Working Together at Distance and in interaction" (TED-i) program.
The First Lady and the Minister of National Education visited a school to meet students and teachers who use Buddy, the Emotional Robot, allowing children suffering from a long illness, to be able to continue their education remotely from the hospital.
They got acquainted with the little cute robot Buddy, interacting with a student connected from the hospital where he is being treated.
Brigitte Macron, president of the Hospitals Foundation, is familiar with the system which allows hospitalized children to keep a link with their family.

A first endowment of 1750 Buddy robots made in France now allow children affected by serious and long-term illnesses to be “tele-present”, to participate in class activities as if they were physically there and to interact with their environment.
