Buddy: the alliance between technology and pedagogy

Buddy is more than a robot; it is an interactive, empathetic and engaging learning companion. It combines artificial intelligence and emotional skills to offer unique educational experiences.
With its rounded, soothing design, Buddy has the advantage of being predictable and consistent. It is therefore very easily accepted by autistic children, who see in it a companion and a unique reinforcer.

Our applications for neurodevelopmental disorders

A suite of applications has been designed for children and adolescents with a neurodevelopmental disorder. With these tools, it is possible to work on classic encoding tasks, learn to recognize and express emotions, practice verbalization, develop fine motor skills and even create personalized quizzes.

These applications are designed to be accessible to everyone: interaction with the robot can be done by voice, touch or via customizable cards. Buddy thus contributes to strengthening social ties, developing autonomy and participating in group activities thanks to games designed as real reinforcers.

Buddy, the avatar for children unable to attend

Buddy positions itself as a caring ally for children prevented from attending school because of illness, disability or school phobia.

Using the telepresence system, Buddy becomes the avatar of these children and allows them to continue their schooling and maintain social ties with their classmates. Using a tablet or smartphone, the child controls the robot remotely.

Thanks to the Ministry of National Education, hundreds of children have already benefited from this system. Some associations have also adopted the solution to allow families to maintain a connection with their sick child

“Buddy helps break the isolation of these pupils and gives them a breath of fresh air in daily lives disrupted by illness or an accident.”
