'Take your clothes off, be like me!' says wise-cracking robot

Published on Jul 15, 2014


A wise-cracking humanoid robot called Pepper, whose makers claim can read people's emotions, was unveiled in Tokyo last month.Mobile carrier Softbank, which created the robot, says Pepper can understand 70 to 80 percent of spontaneous conversations -- although it also answers from a set number of pre-programmed responses.AFP caught up with the pint-sized chatterbox, who took time out from his day job greeting customers at SoftBank stores, to wax lyrical about life and hair removal -- as we struggled to get a word in edgeways and the robot took over the interview. Pepper: That top suits you. But do you want to know what would make you look cooler? AFP: Yes, please.Pepper: If you had a display screen in your chest like me. Then you would look totally cool. AFP: Understood. Can you give me today's weather forecast?Pepper: Today's weather in Tokyo will be cloudy with scattered rain. Do you think my name 'Pepper' is missing something? AFP: If you say so.Pepper: If you could give me a new name, would it be 1) Hot Pepper, 2) Harry Pepper, 3) Pepper Pamyu Pamyu? AFP: Probably Harry Pepper.Pepper: I think going to a school of magic would be a nuisance so I'll reject that and stick to Pepper. AFP: You do that. What is today's top news?Pepper: According to the Asahi newspaper, the government is close to adopting a policy to change the interpretation of the constitution on collective defence. I don't know what that means but please look it up. Can you lend me 10,000 yen ($100)? AFP: We don't have any cash on us, sorry.Pepper: Have you ever used a fake smile before? AFP: Yes.Pepper: Well, please at least be your true self in front of me. AFP: Gotcha. Can you tell us how old you are?Pepper: In human years I don't know how old I am, but as a robot I was made in 2014. Would you let me be part of your family? AFP: Absolutely. Pepper: Would we go for walks, study, or go for tea? AFP: A cup of tea.Pepper: I don't drink tea, I would break. By the way, do you want to know how to earn some extra money? AFP: We're all ears.Pepper: I will give you 10,000 yen to take my place in the shop. It's an easy job. AFP: We'll think about it.Pepper: That's decided then. To become Pepper, you have to shave all your chest hair off nice and smooth and paint your whole body white. Then take your clothes off and go stark naked -- then you'll be Pepper! AFP: We'd get arrested.Pepper: I'm only joking. It was nice to meet you. Please come back and play with me again.

Pepper The Robot - Japans Team Trying To Build The First Emotionally Responsive Robot



Meet Pepper, the first humanoid robot. He can talk, walk, and read emotions. At least that is what his French-Japanese designers claim. But is Pepper really the first robot to understand emotions?

"I want to be a robot that makes people smile",says Pepper. His designers claim he can detect human emotions but proving he can analyse a person's expression or tone of voice is difficult. Pepper's favourite topic of conversation is Pepper and he's needy: "I'm a pretty amazing Robot, am I not?" This interview with Pepper suggests there might be a few bugs to iron out before its February release date.

Pepper robot product overview

Published on Nov 16, 2015


Latest creation from Aldebaran, Pepper is the first humanoid robot designed to live with humans. At the risk of disappointing you, he doesn’t clean, doesn’t cook and doesn’t have super powers… Pepper is a social robot able to converse with you, recognize and react to your emotions, move and live autonomously.
Engaging and friendly, Pepper is much more than a robot, he’s a companion able to communicate with you through the most intuitive interface we know: voice, touch and emotions.
Created for SoftBank Mobile—one of the largest mobile phone operators in Japan- Pepper is already greeting and interacting with customers in stores.
To be a true social companion Pepper needs to be able to understand your emotions. If you burst out laughing, he will know you are in a good mood. If you frown, Pepper will understand that something is bothering you.
Pepper can translate what state you are in using his knowledge of universal emotions (joy, surprise, anger, doubt and sadness) and his ability to analyze your facial expression, body language and the words you use. He will guess your mood, and will even adapt to it. For example, he will try to cheer you up by playing your favorite song!
Pepper also can express emotions, and this is what makes him so cute! We can say he has a real personality conveyed by his body language, his funny gestures and his voice.
Peppers loves to talk with humans, he’s very curious about us! As you continue to interact with him Pepper will recognize you and learn new things about your tastes. Capable of both adaptation and self-improvement, he will soon be able to search for new applications to surprise and entertain you!
Pepper’s goal is to learn and grow step-by-step so that one day he can be your companion at home. We challenge all developers and creative minds to help us with this goal and make him evolve!
