One company, in particular, that’s on a mission to help with this is MOVIA Robotics, a collaborative robotics company building systems and software to help people and robots work together to assist those with special needs.
He explains that the name “MOVIA” was inspired by the words “movement” and “motivation,” a fitting combo since MOVIA moves families in a positive direction and motivates children to learn by making it accessible and fun. Robot-Assisted Instruction leverages the unique peer bond relationship between a child and a robot to unlock doors for learning. Research has revealed that robots can help children with autism solve problems, verbalize their ideas, and create a communicative bond with the robot.
Vice President of Sales, Muniba Masood, shares that “Mothers of children with autism are not praised enough for their selflessness in raising a child with special needs. It takes a village to raise a child on the autism spectrum; family, siblings, therapists, teachers, and more, and when that village is stripped away by something like a pandemic, life can become exponentially more difficult for those affected by autism.
Kebbi, one of MOVIA’s robots, was created for both home and school use. Kebbi is an educational robot that integrates artificial intelligence, software, and hardware technology to provide various facial expressions, body movements, and communicative interactions. Kebbi offers a unique set of interactive capabilities that work wonderfully in the home or school environment, providing users with a heartwarming, educational experience.
Kristen Whoolery, a Speech-Language Pathologist in Wallingford, Connecticut, who has been using MOVIA’s RAI systems with her students, shared that the robot’s immediate impact on children with autism makes learning comfortable exciting, non-judgmental, and anxiety-free. “It has been life-changing,” she said. “I have enjoyed seeing the robot’s interaction with the students and how it has changed their lives.
The company hopes that it’s helping these hardworking heroes – parents, teachers, and of course, autistic individuals making their lives a little less challenging.offer their families and society every day and keep moving positively towards a brighter future.
