It’s so exciting seeing our robots make a difference in the lives of others.  Six-year-old Freyja has a suppressed immune system, so coming into contact with other kids puts her life at risk.  Our robot, Teleport, appeared on ABC News and the Project recently, showcasing Freyja going to school remotely, to give her the social experience, without making her sick.
