ALIZ-E is an €8.3 million initiative funded by the European Commission and led by Plymouth University. Over the course of a four-and-a-half year study, scientists have shown young people with diabetes are more inclined to perform tasks related to their condition if prompted to do so by a friendly interactive robot. Here, Tony Belpaeme - Professor in Cognitive Systems and Robotics at Plymouth University and academic lead for ALIZ-E – talks about the project and the difference it is already making for children right across Europe.
