Meet the $500,000 ChatGPT-powered humanoid robots acting as teachers, counsellors and translators in a San Diego school

In a first-of-its-kind experiment, a school network in California has introduced two ChatGPT-powered humanoid robots to work alongside teachers and support students.

Altus Schools, a charter school network serving thousands of students across San Diego County, has invested $500,000 in two life-sized Ameca robots. School officials at Altus Schools have hailed Ameca as the “world’s most advanced AI-powered humanoid robot” and say the machines are part of a pilot program exploring how artificial intelligence and robots could one day help educate students.
