Tokyo: A city in Japan has announced the introduction of representative robots into classrooms for out-of-school children. These robots will take the child sitting at home to the classroom with its camera.

The city of Kyoyamoto is located in the southwest of Japan. A school here says children who are absent due to misbehavior, illness or any other reason will have robots in their classrooms. However, the aim is for children to stay connected to school and eventually return to school.

The robot has a microphone, camera, speaker and a complete two-way communication system. The child can see the classroom, talk to the teachers and talk to them himself. In this way, children will be able to study in school virtually by controlling the robot while away, and will also be able to communicate with their classmates.

A robot up to three feet (one meter) tall that moves on wheels. He will be able to be pushed by his schoolmates to the ground where he will be able to participate in all kinds of activities. Giving the child this real feeling also aims to reduce their feelings of isolation and fear of school. Thus psychologically it will help to reduce fear in children.

It should be noted that education is being provided to children in the metaverse environment in Japan. The city administration is hopeful that this will help children eventually attend school. However, the project will start in November.
