Description
The two-foot-tall, knee-high-sized robots are called MEDis, for Medical and Engineering Designing Intelligence. They were designed in France and developed in Calgary, where they've been undergoing testing at the hospital for the last three years. The robots are meant to distract and amuse apprehensive kids, providing them with a little entertainment, some small talk and perhaps a dance or two. The robots can mimic many of the things a child can do: they can walk and dance, play games, make eye contact and even give kids a high-five
