Telepresence robot: restoring mobility, maintaining social and educational tie
For schools, it is essential to provide solutions that not only prevent isolation but also ensure continuity of education in the most seamless and comfortable way possible.
Unlike traditional video conferencing systems, Beam® telepresence robot goes beyond remote communication and collaboration by offering a unique advantage: the ability to move around, keeping students truly connected to their learning environment.
3 key benefits of integrating a telepresence student
Connected via the Beam® app on a computer or tablet, users can interact remotely and navigate the space independently with intuitive controls. This allows students to attend classes, move between rooms, and engage with friends, creating a natural, immersive experience. Here are 3 benefits based on observations in the school environment.
- Keeping up with school and extracurricular activities to develop knowledge and skills.
- Maintaining social connections with classmates and teaching staff to prevent isolation of the remote student.
- Positive impact on solidarity among students and fostering altruism.
“I received a lot of sympathy and support while I was using Beam®.
When I think back to that period, I have the feeling that I was actually physically present at school, as if I had actually been there in the classroom.”
Jeanne, beneficiary student
