Students at Business Breakthrough University in Tokyo, which is known as BBT, did not receive a traditional graduation ceremony due to the Corona virus, but they did receive a graduation ceremony that they would not forget for their lifetime.
By using Newme robots with a tablet to host a video call via the Zoom program, graduates were able to experience walking across the stage and receive their certificates at the Grand Palace Hotel in Tokyo on March 28.
Although the Corona virus invaded the world and infected more than a million people, and closed schools and universities around the world, students found creative ways to hold canceled meetings and events.
At the University of Pennsylvania, students created their entire campus in the popular Minecraft game, with simulations of graduation ceremonies and other online events.
But the Japanese University of PPT followed a new approach, using remote-controlled robots to bring the party closer to reality, which was what it was.
