Zoe Johnson, 16, hasn't been at school for 4 years. "She went to the doctor in 2014 with a bit of a sore throat, and somehow that became very serious." says her mother, Rachel Johnson. Zoe missed a lot of school work but was able to continue with her studies with the help of an online teacher. But "over the years her real-world friendships disappeared（消失）because she's not well enough to see anybody, " says Ms Johnson.

For the last three months, though, she has been taking classes with her former classmates using a “telepresence" robot called AVI. The small, cute-looking robot, made by Oslo-based start-up No Isolation, sits in the classroom and sends live streams video and audio（直播視頻和音頻）back to Zoe's ipad, phone or computer at home. She can speak through the robot and take part in lessons, and also control（控制）where AVI is looking.

When she wants to ask a question, the robot's head starts blinking on and off to tell the teacher. And when she's too tired or sick to join in, she can turn AVI's head blue to ask for a leave. "It makes my life a lot more exciting and makes me feel like I haven't been forgotten," Zoe says. With the robot's help, she was able to take five GCSE exams this year. "We're celebrating because she did so much better than we ever hoped, " says Ms Johnson. "Zoe is going on to study A-level History and is looking forward to doing so with her friends, rather than on her own at home".

Karen Dolva, the 27-year-old Norwegian co-founder of No Isolation, has a friend working as a nurse in a children's hospital. "These kids are very sad and they can only see their families," her friend says. Karen and her friends at No Isolation all know about engineering and technology. They talk to the children and find out that phones and messaging apps such as Facebook are not enough to address（表達(dá)）their feelings of isolation（隔絕）. “We get to know the kids need to be present somewhere they aren't, " says Karen.

But the children also say they feel "more comfortable when they don't have to be on display （展示）". So although AVI can help children like Zoe to see and hear what's going on in the classroom, other children can only hear their voices through the robot's speaker.
