Japan holds 'virtual graduations' for students using robots with iPads for faces www.mirror.co.uk

Staff at Business Breakthrough University in Tokyo decided they would not allow social distancing measures introduced to tackle the coronavirus outbreak to ruin the school's graduation ceremony.
The self-isolating students were given the ability to control 'Newme' robots which are tall, vaguely human shaped machines that run on four wheels.
At the top of a thin body covered in a graduation gown was a digital tablets beaming out a live-stream of the student's face.
In another photo he can be seen proudly standing between two freshly graduated students perched on top of their temporary robot bodies.
There are now 4,667 cases of the coronavirus in the country and 94 people who have died from Covid-19.
