Dr Mick used the invitation to speak about the benefits of using telepresent robots, both in and out of the classroom, as a result of our BubbleBusters project for children such as Benjamin, who has leukaemia and is unable to attend school due to his immune deficiency.nKaren described the care and attention to detail which goes into the unique design of her company’s AV1 robots and how the lives of many thousands more children, globally, could be transformed by this ground-breaking technology. .embed-container { position: relative; padding-bottom: 60.25{5ea08703443618cd5aa440c713e162b2f5fd0296e8562a6cf21cf45e8c2d34be}; height: 0; overflow: hidden; max-width: 100{5ea08703443618cd5aa440c713e162b2f5fd0296e8562a6cf21cf45e8c2d34be}; } .embed-container iframe, .embed-container object, .embed-container embed { position: absolute; top: 10px; left: 0; width: 100{5ea08703443618cd5aa440c713e162b2f5fd0296e8562a6cf21cf45e8c2d34be}; height: 100{5ea08703443618cd5aa440c713e162b2f5fd0296e8562a6cf21cf45e8c2d34be}; } Visit the conference page
