Indore Becomes First City in Central India to Introduce Humanoid Robot in Classrooms

Indore Becomes First City in Central India to Introduce Humanoid Robot in Classrooms
Indore has become the first city in Central India to introduce a humanoid robot in school classrooms. The AI-powered teaching assistant has been deployed at Daly College as part of the school’s senior academic programme.
The robot is designed to support teachers in selected subjects by conducting demonstrations, administering quizzes, providing personalised feedback, and tracking student engagement.
“This is not about robots teaching children,” said principal Dr Gunmeet Bindra at a press conference. “It’s about preparing students to engage with AI as part of everyday life. The robot functions as a co-teacher. It does not replace the teacher but supports classroom instruction where needed.”
In addition to the robot, Daly College has launched a toy train for junior students. The train is intended to aid early learning by introducing concepts like direction, movement, and sequencing through activity-based lessons.
“Children learn through movement and observation,” Bindra said. “The train helps build basic vocabulary and understanding through real-world interaction.”
Both tools have been incorporated into the regular timetable. The robot is currently used in senior classes, while the train is part of interdisciplinary modules in the junior section.
