Pepper is a social humanoid robot designed as a companion for the home. It was created by Aldebaran Robotics and SoftBank. Aldebaran's chief marketing officer Laura Bokobza explains Pepper's capabilities and possibilities.
The "Pepper" robot is designed to bridge the gap between humans and machines. he robot was created by Japanese outfit Aldebaran in collaboration with Telecoms giant Softbank. BBC Click's Marc Cieslak went to Japan to see how well it could interact with a real person.
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.
