– It resembles not so very, says classmate Ulrik Ambrosius Mortensen, something Eric Sander Viken even completely agree.
But the newly charm troll in white plastic, filled with technology, beats obviously depends in fellow gang . Eirik’s “Avatar” or deputy gets both Virginia and amicable bank. It is built for rough treatment so it can withstand a normal day at the fifth step in Hvalstad school in Asker.

Eric Sander Viken goes on Hvalstad school and has cerebral palsy. Around 10 weeks each year he’s gone from teaching. Then he through a training schedule to keep the disease at bay. But this little robot, who invented and built in Norway, will now become the mechanical version of Eric while he is away. The robot streams audio and video from the classroom to a phone. It also has a loudspeaker that allows Eirik can ask questions and chat with friends during recess. Photo: Tore Meek / NTB scanpix
AV1 has eyes and mouth that conceals camera, microphone and speakers. Via a tablet can Eirik see, hear and talk with classmates when he is on the rehabilitation center in Hamar. 9-year-old has cerebral palsy and is in training two to three weeks at a time up to three times a year.
– I want it not only with the school, but also that friends take AV1 with the birthdays and other activities when Eric is gone. Then he’s a little sad that he’ll miss things mum says Kirstin Sander Viken.
– So far we have only had email contact with the school. He has equally good, but to get direct contact with the class will be sublime, she said.

Costly help
Eirik has been testing the robot free. But most parents of sick and disabled children must until further pay for such a solution yourself. It costs just under 3,000 crowns a month to rent the robot, or 18,000 for a full year, said general manager Karen Dolva company No Isolation, which has taken up the robot.
Longstanding illness can also buy it.
But both Dolva and Eirik’s mom hopes children who need it can access the robot via aids centers.

Health and Human Services Bent Høie (H) visited No Isolation recently and was impressed by what they have accomplished with the robot.
– Many children who are long past from school and friend environment due to illness, experiencing loneliness and may have challenges to come back afterwards. This corresponds robot well, says he said.
But even if he sees the usefulness of the robot, can not Høie say whether or when parents with sick children can get it for free. He points out that aids centers are labor minister’s responsibility, but points out that such aids can also be purchased by schools or hospitals.
– In our system is it that when new tools are tested and deemed useful, then set the disposal. It must Nav consider in this context, says Høie.
Just for Sick Children
robot AV1 is designed and manufactured by the Norwegian company No Isolation. It should make it possible for sick children to be present in the classroom when they are in hospital or at home.

AV1 is the first robot of its kind designed specifically for sick children. Dolva saying it was unacceptable to set up a video transfer to the classroom, says Karen Dolva.
– Almost all children polled found it difficult. In some cases, they have no hair, it may be they have wires on them, or they are faded. One day you’re at home or in hospital is never right day to be on the show, stating Dolva.
At the same time it was important to have a physical object that represents the child and friends can relate to and take around, rather than a static display that does not make any sense of the person behind, she explains about the process of developing AV1.
Health Minister is concerned that the development of innovations in the health sector is based on the users ‘and patients’ needs so robotmakerne made.
– It is precisely this kind of businesses that we need in Norway come, says Høie.
