Teaching this robot will help children to improve their handwriting
Research in AI tends to focus on developing robots who are more capable and efficient than humans, but a new study at École Polytechnique Federale de Lausanne in Switzerland is doing just the opposite.

The CoWriter Project has created a robot classroom assistant who is less advanced at handwriting than the most struggling students — giving those pupils someone to learn with and teach.
