Since its commercial launch about two years ago, Pepper the Robot has conquered so diverse\u00a0spaces around the globe that a day passing by without Pepper in the press is becoming unusual. These humanoid robots developed by Softbank Robotics and programmed by an ecosystem of partners from all around Europe welcome guests, answer questions, help find the way through facilities and locate products, inform, assist, make reservations, take orders in restaurants and entertain the young and the elderly, to mention some real use-cases currently out there. Each Pepper is programmed with its own personality (robotality<\/em>?) and a different set of abilities for a specific use-case.<\/p>\n

Designed to make the interaction with human beings as natural and intuitive as possible<\/a>, humans can communicate with Pepper through (almost) natural language, who also does the same, supported by human-like gestures, and by looking the person in the eye and following them with the gaze. It also has abilities to analyse facial expressions and voice tones, which can be used for best contextual understanding and for adapting its behavior to the situation.<\/p>\n

While Pepper, both as a platform and individually, still have a lot to learn and their performance not always please everybody, they’re improving day by day.<\/p>\n

What’s new with Pepper? It looks just the same.\u00a0<\/em>True. But you know, it’s the inside that counts!<\/em><\/p>\n
