Ian – the only student who is allowed to stand during class, ride on a class for a long time to think or say computer language, “hang.” And sometimes even shut down.
Beyond the small screen lost the connection to the Internet. Start the lesson second-form boy Ian Dem’yanovich missed. This is rare but still happens. Virtual training has been going on for six weeks. In winter, the boy was walking with his grandmother, slipped and fell awkwardly. Broke three thoracic vertebrae. Now the kid in the class looks, listens and speaks – the robot.
Olga Zhdanov, a teacher of history and culture of St. Petersburg High School № 642 “Earth and the universe”: “He moves his head, raises his hand, he can move. Can ask any questions. He leaves with the children at recess, that is, as a normal child”.
Robot boy gave the administration Vasileostrovsky area. Officials saw the electronic computer to the latest innovation forum. This is still the first and only android, who went, or rather, he moved across the threshold of the school of St. Petersburg.
Olga Skripkina, a correspondent: “The sense organs in the robot’s almost like a normal person. The camera for eyes, a microphone – it’s ears, the speakers instead of the mouth, however, are in the stomach, the same processor – the heart and memory. By the way, he can remember not only how to spell-shek, Madame, but the entire school library. ”
The amount of RAM the host smaller, but there is a desire to learn. The child does not write off, honestly remember the rules and read the poem by heart.
Dem’yanovich Helen, mother of Jan: “He absolutely does himself. I can even go to work, and he does, he connects, configures itself. If any faults, he is reset. ”
First, classmates did not recognize the artificial intelligence John. There was no monitor. For them it was just a miracle robot that knows all by name, can talk and answer questions. With the advent of the screen, everything changed.
Jan Dem’yanovich, second-form boy, “We communicate with them. Well, there are collections of what they are doing now. I ask my mother the same. Will come and play with them in the same toys”.
In school, John will come back next fall. And not just a student, and already a star. About a boy and his friend knew all the e-school. However, the robot assistant will have to part. His will be given to another child. In Vasileostrovsky area nearly two hundred children of poor health on home schooling.
