She rarely missed school before an MRI revealed lesions on her brain. Now, she won’t have to miss class. Emily has a robot — dubbed W.O.A.W.O.A. —that takes her place at her Glen Burnie school. With the help of an iPad connected to it, Emily can “walk” through the school, talk to her classmates and answer questions.
