A warm welcome
The film follows the robots through their first days at school. The humanoid robot greets students in the corridors with a wave and a high five, while the robot dog trots across the floor and settles in among the children.
Students gathered on the sofas in reception to meet them, laughing, asking questions and reaching out to stroke the robot dog, and the robots even joined a class photo in our maple leaf frame.

Tintu and Mintu are already a big hit at Maplewood. In a second film on our Instagram, students share their excitement, their favourite moments and their first impressions of their new robot friends.
Learning with technology
