Here’s some great news for hospitalised kids.

Robots for Good have developed the InMoov 3D printed human size robot which children can control from their hospital beds to move around the zoo (or potentially, anywhere else) and interact  with (see, hear and touch) the world they are unable to visit. The new robot will be donated to Great Ormond Street Children’s Hospital, London.

And also good news is that its all open source.
