At the Duck's Nest preschool in Oakland, Calif., a fluffy blue robot asks a group of toddlers, "I want to be your friend. Will you please be my friend?" Robotics experts are testing this low-cost and affable robot, called Romibo, at schools across the country.
This revolutionary robot is an exciting and affordable new tool for educators, therapists and parents. Using Robots4Autism's research-based curriculum, Milo teaches elementary and middle school age children the understanding and meaning of emotions and expressions, and demonstrates appropriate social behavior and responses.
