VIEW: Kerala school unveils new robotic educator, driven by Gen AI and Intel SoC
A Thiruvananthapuram school in Kerala has debuted India’s premiere robotic educator powered by artificial intelligence. This robot, named Iris, was developed by Maker Labs and utilizes generative AI. Iris has the ability to instruct a range of subjects spanning from nursery to 12th grade, and currently interacts in English, Hindi, and Malayalam languages.
A school in Thiruvananthapuram, Kerala, has made a pioneering step that could transform education in India by introducing the nation's first AI teacher robot. The robot, named Iris, was developed by Maker Labs and utilizes generative AI technology.
Maker Labs made a post on Instagram to reveal a significant achievement, stating, "Pushing the limits in education: We present IRIS, the first AI-powered teaching robot in India, built on generative AI." The firm shared its aspiration to revolutionize learning by utilizing AI to craft individualized teaching experiences. With Iris, tutors have the capability to offer stimulating and efficient lessons that are specifically designed to cater to each student's unique needs and preferences in a way that has never been done before.
A video circulating on social media reveals a robot being introduced on stage at KTCT Higher Secondary School in Kerala, where it interacts with students in the classroom. Dr K Rajeev, who is the Director of the Space Physics Laboratory (SPL) at VSSC, officially launched Iris. The footage underscores the rapid bond formed between the AI teacher and the students at KTCT Higher Secondary School.
The Artificial Intelligence Educator Robot, Iris, is not merely a passive monitor in a learning environment. It is an engaging educational partner, driven by advanced Robotics and Generative AI technologies. Iris is outfitted with a specialized Intel processor and coprocessor that guarantee seamless operation. Its intuitive Android App interface allows users to easily interact and control it, ensuring a personalized educational experience.
Iris was developed under the Atal Tinkering Lab (ATL), a project initiated by NITI Aayog in 2021. The goal of this project was to enhance the non-academic activities of students in schools.
As an AI voice assistant, Iris interacts with users by answering their questions, providing explanations, and offering educational materials.
Furthermore, each of Iris's hands, featuring 5 degrees of freedom, allows it to manipulate items, perform demonstrations, and engage in practical learning activities.
Iris comes equipped with a 4-wheel structure as well, enabling her to move smoothly and unrestricted in the area she's used in. This makes interacting with users and navigating spaces a breeze.
Iris has the ability to instruct on topics ranging from preschool to 12th grade, and presently interacts in three languages: English, Hindi, and Malayalam. There are plans to broaden its language skills to more than 20 languages. In addition, Iris has the feature to filter out unsuitable content related to drugs and violence, thereby ensuring a secure and favorable educational atmosphere.
The debut of Iris marks a major stride forward in the blend of technology and education, with the potential to enhance learning results and stimulate students in new and exciting ways. As schools and universities adapt to the digital age, breakthroughs such as Iris provide a preview of what learning might look like in the future, with AI-powered resources supplementing conventional teaching techniques, to create a more engaging and efficient learning atmosphere.
