Assam recently made a foray into the future of education with the unveiling of 'Iris,' the Northeast region's first AI teacher.
Clad in a traditional Mekhela Chador, this captivating humanoid robot debuted at a private school in Guwahati, leaving students enthralled with its interactive learning capabilities.
At Royal Global School, 'Iris' confidently introduced itself and fielded a barrage of curious questions from the students.
The AI teacher's adroitness was evident in its ability to address queries, both syllabus-related and general, in a timely manner, complete with illustrative examples and references.
A school spokesperson lauded 'Iris' for its impressive response speed and informative explanations.
The students' inquisitiveness was further fueled by the robot's ability to engage in interactive activities.
The children, particularly impressed by 'Iris' lifelike gestures such as handshakes, found the learning process both enjoyable and stimulating.
'Iris' boasts an intelligent voice-controlled assistant that facilitates seamless interaction with students and provides comprehensive answers to their inquiries.
A teacher at the school remarked on the students' palpable excitement about having an AI teacher readily available to address their questions.
This innovative project is a collaborative effort between Makerlabs Edu-tech and the Atal Tinkering Lab (ATL) initiative spearheaded by NITI Aayog.
The humanoid leverages a sophisticated voice-controlled assistant to deliver prompt and informative responses to student queries.
The introduction of 'Iris' signifies a significant leap forward in the integration of AI into education.
It paves the way for personalised learning experiences that cater to the diverse learning styles of students, the teacher noted.
The private school is eager to harness the robot's potential to personalize education and make it more engaging for students across the Northeast region.
