Stepan decides, as the robot passes 

In Moscow school students replaced the machine

The story described in the film “The Adventures of Electronics,” repeated the other day in the 166th Moscow school. Instead of 12-year-old Stephan Sopina come to class to learn … its robotic namesake. However, unlike the present kinogeroya Stepan not keeping up with school, but thanks to the robot, which became his eyes, ears and legs, is present in almost all classes, talking with classmates, meet the board and even running, or rather, goes to classrooms.

It all started with the fact that graduates of the leading technical universities of the capital have developed a robot that could replace a person from a distance. And then decided to test his creation. Very good idea was the “attachment” to a sick child to the robot, which is unable to attend school. Get lucky twin sixth-grader from Stepan Sopin 166th school. Over the past two years due to leukemia, a child was unable to attend: his immune system so weak that any direct contact with classmates may result in disaster.

Now, Stephan started a completely different life. However, he manages it from his room, with a home computer. Sitting at home, he was “present” in class, homework answers, chatting with friends at recess, and can even play hide and seek with them. The school student and an electronic name – Stepan (originally called him Erbot as his other brothers). Well, how could it be otherwise, because the robot voice said his master, and an online image of a boy is always displayed in his “chest”, a special monitor. In a classroom where desks are installed with the letter “P”, the robot is always in the center. When the teacher announces the collective performance of the job, he turns to his friends and is connected to the work. “The Deputy” Stephan something superior to ordinary students. Here, for example, because it set “eyes”-cameras with the possibility of a 10-fold increase from a distance, he could read the textbook chapter.

- Thanks to the robot Stepan fully feel its presence in the school – said one of its founders, Vyacheslav Kravtsov. – The robot can turn his head to the side and move. The only thing he can not – is to go from floor to floor, as equipped with a wheel system. Within the same floor of this virtual Stepan can look in any room. In order for these movements in real time, as well as the learning process is made possible, we have established in the school wireless internet. The robot is equipped with a webcam, microphone and speaker, immediately became the most popular among students, “student”: around him as around the electronics, is always a crowd of guys.

According to Alla Gevak teacher, the children quickly got used to the robot teacher, and teachers were initially strange to call a car named student. But now all have become accustomed.

Meanwhile, a similar robot is already available and Surgeons Cardiology in the resuscitation of the Central Clinical Hospital. A.A.Vishnevskogo. If the doctor is not on the job, he still can … personally, but rather, in the shell robot Erbota, perform bypass patients, give appropriate recommendations.
