Iris, India’s first AI-generated school teacher robot, was unveiled at a grand event in a Kerala school by Makerlabs Edutech. Powered by cutting-edge robotics and generative AI technology, Iris features an in-built voice assistant and runs on an Intel chipset. The humanoid, clad in a saree, interacted with students in a video shared on Instagram. Developed under the Atal Tinkering Lab (ATL) project by NITI Aayog, Iris aims to revolutionize traditional teaching, responding to queries and educating students from nursery to class 12 through an Android app. Currently proficient in three languages, developers plan to extend its language capabilities to 20 languages.
