Researchers at the Nanyang Technological University in Singapore have come up with a prototype robot that will help primary school children in their lessons. The robot will be a "companion robot" to help them with their studies.
The prototype robot has been tested in some kindergartens. By putting such robots in classrooms to help guide children in their lessons, teachers will be freed to observe students' behaviour and identify their needs.
