In addition, thanks to the robot, the child must be able to make contact with and maintain contact with his friends, the municipality of St. Veit in Carinthia announced on Friday. The project is therefore unique in Austria. The girl suffers from a rare immune defect and strange bacteria are seriously affecting her health.
The robot is about 30 centimeters high and weighs 1.5 kilograms. With a flashing light, the eight-year-old can speak out in the kindergarten group. She tries to express her mood with avatar eyes. To keep an eye on what’s happening in the kindergarten, she can turn her avatar’s head from home with a tablet.
The disease not only makes it difficult to transfer knowledge, but social contacts are also greatly reduced, the girl’s mother says in the message. She hopes this will improve with the mini avatar. “We play with Hannah about the avatar, do crafts, eat and even take her to the garden,” explains kindergarten teacher Sylvia Greiler.
The avatar in the kindergarten is financed by donations. The girl will attend primary school from the fall. The avatar is usually only used for a short time, for example to bridge foreseeable absences at school.
