Assam's First AI Teacher, Iris, Enhances Learning Experience for Students

Dressed in a traditional 'Mekhela Chador' and jewelry, Assam's first artificially intelligent teacher, 'Iris', efficiently answered all questions from students at a private school. At Royal Global School, the humanoid listened to the query, "What is hemoglobin?" and provided a detailed response, according to a teacher at the school.

"Whether the questions were from their syllabus or about any topic, 'Iris' provided answers promptly with examples and references," stated a spokesperson for the Royal Global School. The students were curious and eagerly participated in various activities with the robot, she said.

The children also enjoyed the robot's ability to perform gestures like handshakes, making the learning process both enjoyable and interactive. 'Iris' features a voice-controlled assistant that helps it respond to student queries with detailed explanations.
