Robot Kebbi stands just 12.5-inches tall, but it’s a giant in the fight against autism.
Its round eyes blink and its eyebrows rise; facial expressions charm and dazzle; it raises its arms to celebrate successes on computer exercises.
Kids grin, giggle and connect. Parents melt. And autism takes a step back.
Kebbi is one of four robots deployed by MOVIA Robotics’ founder Timothy Gifford in the fight against autism spectrum disorder, a range of conditions that affect one in every 36 children in America and as many as 75 million worldwide.
