A 7-year-old boy, Devon Carrow-Sperduti, has potentially fatal
allergies and must spent most of his life at home. Even one day in
school can kill him. But now Devon has a special VGo robot that is
linked to his home computer. The face of the boy appears via webcam on
the robot and the boy can see the class, the teachers and his classmate
via robot's frontal camera. The robot has its own desk in the classroom
and can volunteer to answer the teacher's questions with a flashing
light, rather than Devon raising his hand.
