Robot to Attend School for 10-Year-Old Cancer Patient
From: Medical Design Technology - 11/06/2015

A Maryland girl who is undergoing cancer treatment will be able to attend
school with the help of a robot.

The robot features an iPad screen attached to a rolling base. Walton will see
and hear what the robot observes, and she can socialize with friends as her
robot stand-in rolls down the halls. She'll control the robot with an app and
be able to respond to people talking with her. Wi-Fi and Bluetooth
connectivity tie the remote user to the robot's iPad and the iPad to the
roller.

The robot comes from Double Robotics, a company that has helped other people
in situations similar to Walton's receive an education remotely. It also
sells robots to telecommuters and doctors who need a remote presence.
