Teachers and children in the UAE will soon be supported by robots in the classroom
Children across the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) group of countries will have robot assistants in their classrooms by the end of 2017.
Teachers will be supported by the physical robots that are connected to cloud-based software. As well as using data to access information and provide students with answers to their questions, it will also be able to present material through a built-in projector.
United Arab Emirates-based education-focused supplier Atlab is introducing its TeachAssist robot, which blends hardware and software using a cloud-based robotic system known as Sanbot .
The company is customising the robot to enable it to provide support in schools.
