Robots Help to Study А. Though we may all moan and groan about having to go to school each morning, the truth is that it is not all bad -where else сап you hang out with friends, complain about teachers and exchange carrots for cookies? Therefore, you can only imagine how Devon Carrow felt when he realised that he could not and may never bе аbе to attend 'normal' schoolВ. Devon was born with life-threatening allergies to peanuts, milk, eggs and numerous other foods, as well as, things like perfumes and fabric softeners. Devon's parents knew that there was по way the young bоу would bе аbе to survive in a normal classroom environment, especially since even breathing in аn allergen could result in an anaphylactic shock. So, at the age of 5 when most kids are looking forward to going to kindergarten, Devon had to put up with homeschooling in complete isolation until his family heard about the incredible AvatarС. The 4-feet tall chrome and steel VGO (Video Graphics Output) robot that is fitted with а television screen and acts as а two way audio/video mobile communications system has opened а whole new world for Devon, one where he gets to experience school life оп а day-to-day basis and interact with his teachers and friends. The best part is that since the robot is mobile and has а battery life of eight hours, Devon сап 'walk' to the library and even, join them on the playgroundD.Though life has improved immensely for the young bоу since his Avatar entered his life last January, things are still not easy. Не has to сапу his own popcorn and bring sheets to cover the seats when he goes out for movies. Не cannot go out to play and if his friends want to соте over, they have to shower and change their clothes before they are allowed to play with him Е. While Devon is not the first kid to use this amazing robot, he is the youngest. The technology had originally bееn developed for use in manufacturing plants to monitor production or for doctors to watch the health of elderly patients who are living independently. Fortunately, а salesman from VGO communications called the school district. Hopefully, as more schools and students discover the VGO, Avatars strolling around hallways laughing and joking with friends, will become а common sight. *
