A small robot may help children who are recovering from a long-term illnesses in

the hospital or at home.

These

children

may

feel

isolated

from

their

friends

and

classmates.

The

robot

takes

their place

at school. Through

the robot, the

children

can hear their

teachers

and

friends. They also can take part in class from wherever they are recovering.

A Norwegian company called No Isolation created a robot. The co-founders of No

Isolation are Karen Dolva and Marius Aabel. The robot is called AV1. AV1 goes to

school for a child who is at home while recovering from a long-term illness. And

the

child

’

s

school

friends

must

help.

They

carry

the

robot

between

classes

and

place

the robot on the child

’

s desk.

Dolva

explains

how

the

robot

AV1

works.

She

says,

from

home,

the

child

uses

a

tablet

or phone to start

the robot. Then they use the same device to control the robot’s

movements. At school, the robot becomes the eyes, ears and voice of the child. The

child

can

take

part

in

classroom

activities

from

wherever

she/he

is

recovering

—

whether at home or from a hospital bed. The robot is equipped with

speakers, microphones and cameras make communicating easy. It was designed to be

tough. It is water resistant and can take a fall from a desk without damage.

Inside AV1, there is a small computer connected to a 4G network. A small camera

5

hooked up to

a small

computer could do the job.

But that

would not be the same. AV1

is large and looks like a human for a reason. Dolva says this is important because

the robot is supposed to be a friend to the children.

And

robots

are,

quite

simply,

cool.

The

robot

just

became

available

to

the

public.

Hopefully AV1 will help some children feel less lonely while they are absent from

class.

of

the

following

can

replace

the

C. It can replace children to attend classes. D. It was created by Dolva and

Aabel.

27. How are the movements of AV1 controlled?

A. By using a tablet or phone. B. By joining in classroom activities.

C. Through a small speaker. D. Through a small camera.

28. Who is AV1 mainly designed for?

A. Children who have just recovered from illnesses.

B. Children who can

’

t go to school for a long time.

can’t

see, hear or speak.

videos,

the

techie

Melbourne,

Australia,

learned

to

code

7.

Soon,

she was trying her hand at making apps.

“When I first got my iPad, I was fascinated by all the apps on it,”

she told

TFK. “It wasn’t long before I wanted to create my own.”

She built her first two apps with her younger sister in mind. Smartkins Animals

conference hosted

achieve

them,”

is

to

empower

technology in kids’ hands. “The more training we get
