Meet Bot Bud, the solar-powered, energy-efficient robot designed to provide therapy and support to young people. Equipped with changeable faces and extensive educational resources, Bot Bud is available through leading counselors and health services. It’s free for under 18s and compact enough to fit in a suitcase for portability.
As part of their Smart Start Experiment, the team aims to establish a mentor or buddy program in high schools and primary schools to provide peer support and companionship.
