School children are seriously ill, rest at home and recuperate, and the school seats are empty! This sounds justifiable, but Germans don't think that way. Children don't go to school at home, they don't interact with teachers and classmates, they are forgotten by their classmates, and what should they do if they "grow crooked"? And, technology can solve this problem! So the German district of Berlin's Machaen-Hellersdorf began an experiment in which robotic doubles could replace sick schoolchildren in school.
The robot avatar has a camera on its forehead, an eye light signal on its face, and a speaker on its body. The sick child uses a tablet device to connect at home, and uses the camera and microphone of the robot avatar to teach lessons. When the sick child has something to say, the robot avatar will speak. The blinking means that the sick child can then answer a teacher's question or converse with a classmate using the robot double's loudspeaker.
The Machaen-Hellersdorf region has currently introduced 4 such avatar robots to replace sick schoolchildren in class. The regional education municipal committee member said that the idea of using robot avatars was actually affected by the new crown epidemic. However, the new crown After the epidemic is over, this measure should continue in the future, and it is believed that this is the future trend. School children are always unable to go to school for various reasons, and the use of robotic stand-ins allows school children to continue to interact with their school peers.
If you are sick at home, you can continue to attend classes and continue to interact with your classmates. Is this the moral policy of science and technology, or are Germans "overthinking"? If you are sick at home and cannot rest well, you still have to connect to classes, and you can’t hide from your teachers and classmates by pretending to be sick. Will it become a technology persecution in the future? In any case, at least the classmates still think the robot double is cute.
