Botkins, a charity robotics project, is building a telepresence tool that lets people bedridden by Myalgic Encephalomyelitis or Long Covid take part in social life again. The device, built with FPV and Raspberry Pi technology, allows users to remotely attend gatherings and stay connected. Supporters highlight it as an empowerment tool for the millions missing from public life due to these disabling illnesses.
Why now: Growing attention on Long Covid and M.E. is drawing interest in new technologies that help severely ill patients re-engage socially.
