A school in Kerala's Thiruvananthapuram recently got a special teacher in form of an artificial intelligence-based humanoid.
Named 'Iris', the saree-clad humanoid bears resemblance to a regular female teacher and can speak three languages.
Developed by a private firm Makerlabs, 'Iris' is equipped with features like voice assistant, interactive learning, manipulation capabilities and mobilities.
The humanoid, introduced at KTCT Higher Secondary School, was built as part of the Atal Tinkering Lab scheme.
Sharing a video of Iris on Instagram, Makerlabs wrote, “With IRIS, we’ve set out to revolutionize education by harnessing the power of AI to create a truly personalized learning experience. By adapting to each student’s needs and preferences, IRIS empowers educators to deliver engaging and effective lessons like never before.”
The humanoid is powered by a dedicated Intel processor and comes with an Android app interface.
