AV1 Robot

[stumot]

Good Afternoon All, 

 

Years ago we trialled an AV1 robot in our SEN Department, it was used lightly and has since gone back, in a meeting today the possibility of buying an AV1 robot long term came up, I was wondering if anyone on here can vouch for how useful this is or if there are any cheaper alternatives for it as it seems overpirced but looking around there doesnt seem to be any other options at a quick glance 

 

Any testimonals of the robot or alternative solutions would be appreciated 

 

Thank you

I personally dont see the point it's £4k a year to have a student in a teams meeting, but with worse feed back potential. if the student does not want to be on camera you can turn off their web cam or have it pointing at an avatar that can indicate the same three responses that the robot has or any other options up to a fullly interactive voice chat however, I have never been able to get a SENCO to agree with this.

 

I would say the proof of my position is that we have two in a cupboard here but none in use.
