First robotic classroom experience at the UCSD campus

Programmed with a variety of characters, each presenting unique medical scenarios, RIA’s integration into the English Language Institute’s Medical English course marks the first robotic classroom experience at the UCSD campus.

Embodying the institute’s dedication to delivering innovative educational experiences, the robot provides students with a distinctive opportunity to practice establishing rapport with patients in a simulated environment.

“This is a chance for us to use the most cutting edge research in cognitive science and robotics to help working professionals improve their English Language skills,” said Patti Juza, Associate Dean for UC San Diego Extended Studies.
