Student 'robots' with tablet heads mime graduation ceremony in uncanny video
Reading now: 403
A video shows how an uncanny pair of robots were dressed up in robes for the sake of graduating students – who had their faces live-streamed onto the robots' heads.
With a little help from the internet, students who could not attend the ceremony in person due to the coronavirus pandemic appeared virtually on the screens.
The robots are humanoid in shape but have a tablet where you would expect the head to be. Footage shows a robot in formal academic clothing clumsily rolling up to a professor with a student's face projected onto the screen.
The professor, smiling and waving, shifts the tassel on the android's hat so he can see his student, before miming "handing" the robot their graduation certificate.
