Devon Carrow spends his days like many other second grade students: He goes to school, says hello to friends in the hallway and practices his multiplication tables. But to do this safely, Devon cannot be in the classroom.
The 7-year-old from West Seneca, N.Y., has life-threatening allergies and the only way he can safely attend school is via a four-foot tall remote-controlled robot named VGo.
“[It’s] really improved him and his quality of life and his self-esteem,” said Devon’s mother, Rene Carrow. “There’s some kinks here and there along the way [but] it’s the best thing that he’s been able to participate in.”
