Case Study: Blue Frog rebuilds social connections for sick children with Agora

Blue Frog’s Buddy robot helps sick children rebuild social connections with Agora’s real-time communication

Blue Frog Robotics, a French pioneer in social robotics, wanted to improve the telepresence experience of its Buddy robot for sick, homebound, and hospitalized children. The challenge was delivering reliable, high-quality real-time communication that could help users stay connected with classmates, family, and doctors while feeling emotionally present rather than just appearing on a standard video call.

Blue Frog implemented Agora’s real-time video communication technology to power Buddy’s telepresence function, using Agora to improve QoS, visibility into call quality, and overall reliability on both the robot and tablet sides. With Agora, Blue Frog says it now has the robust audio/video performance needed to support meaningful remote interaction, and the company also highlighted satisfaction with Agora’s support and white-label video call quality.
