As more industries begin to embrace automation, Riverstone Academy has taken the lead by introducing an autonomous delivery cart, known as Model C2, within their educational facility. The initiative not only created a buzz among the students and staff, but it’s also transforming how the academy manages its operations.

Robotic Process Automation in Education: A New Era of Efficiency

The primary role of Model C2 is to streamline the movement of items around the school. This includes tasks such as transporting sports materials from storage to the gym, or delivering printed copies from printers to various classrooms. Tasks that previously required multiple, tedious, back-and-forth trips around the school from staff-members are now handled efficiently by the robotic cart.

This automated delivery cart allows teachers to focus on their primary duty — educating young minds — without the disruption of time-consuming logistical errands. Additionally, it reduces the workload on support staff, making their job more manageable with time for more important maintenance tasks.

The Excitement of Robotic Delivery

The introduction of Model C2 sparked a wave of enthusiasm among Riverstone patrons big and small. Students were thrilled to interact with a real-life robot. Our team was wow-ed by all the insightful questions and enthusiastic participation stemming from their curiosity.

Staff members too were intrigued by the robotic process automation service, instantly brainstorming additional use-cases for the robot. One staff member appreciated the convenience, saying it’s “great [because] carrying the toys and balls for recess usually means multiple trips with however many you can fit in your arms at a time.”

Overcoming Hurdles with Logistics Robotics

Deployment of new technology is often accompanied by challenges, and this case was no different. The unique open floor plan of the school and the constant movement of excited students posed some obstacles. However, our successfully navigated these challenges by remapping the school several times and upgrading the robot’s LIDAR sensors for navigation.

Our belief is that our customers deserve the utmost adaptability and reliability of our technology. So, our team of experts continue to work with Riverstone to provide maximally efficient operations as their academy expands. By distributing remote software updates, we’re excited to deliver intelligent application software that gets even better over time. 

The Future of Education Robots and Robotic Carts at Quasi

The successful implementation of Model C2 at Riverstone Academy demonstrates the potential of robot carts in other educational facilities. These automation robots could significantly help overworked (and, in the public sector, often underpaid) teachers by handling logistical tasks. This would, in turn, improve the overall quality and efficiency of the educational sector, freeing up more time for teachers to focus on teaching and students to focus on learning.

This deployment marks the beginning for Model C2 and its potential impact in various industries. We are continuously exploring ways to enhance its capabilities and make it an indispensable asset in the autonomous technology market. With advancements in AI, sensors, and connectivity, that the future possibilities for Model C2 and other autonomous products are endless.
