EngKey is a white, egg-shaped robot developed by Korean Institute of Science and Technology (KIST). Standing 1 meter high, EngKey is designed to facilitate teaching the English language to Korean elementary pupils.
English teachers from other countries, like the Philippines, can have a chance to teach through the EngKey via a remote control system. With its integrated large screen and microphones, teachers can have a real-time interaction with their English Students.
Although the screen projects only an avatar, EngKey has cameras onboard with facial detection feature. Any sudden change on the expression of the teacher will be reflected in the avatar’s expression also. EngKey moves around using its wheel-driven platform.
