Robots stand in graduates’ place in Indonesian university

Indonesia’s Diponegoro University holds its graduation ceremony without its flesh-and-blood graduates, with robots receiving diplomas from the rector’s hands in the students’ stead.

The 2,500 graduates were only allowed to watch the formalities via live broadcast due to pandemic social distancing, but they were represented by the top three students in each faculty – who had their faces displayed on-screen as the robots took the stage.
