Pepper, the new robot by Aldebaran #PepperRobot

The latest creation from Aldebaran, Pepper is the first robot designed to live with humans.
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 - the 1st biggest mobile phone company in Japan - Pepper is already greeting customers in stores.

Skipping the legs, at least for now, is brilliant. Easier on the hardware guys, the software guys, and the consumer. And all the good bits are still there. Love it!

At this rate we will hopefully have Medarots within the next 20 years.

Pepper is awesome and wish I could buy one, but I live in the UK and when will Pepper ready to buy in the UK

[cyrilmichy]

A new one in the family... It's great! I'm looking forward to read more informations about Pepper.

The price is the most amazing thing about this.  I've read from multiple sources that Pepper will sell for only $2, 000 and be available early next year?!?  If that's true, I must have it!  Little NAO costs $8, 000.

Well, they've got the upper body movement, now just add legs so it can walk. Also, make it so it is silent when it moves.

Love that idea. Idk why. XD I prefer almost human. Pepper meets at a grate place. Stay where you are.

I, for one, welcome our new robot overlords.

All of this has happened before and will happen again.

Подозреваю, что после бума носимой электроники и виртуальной реальности, настанет время и для домашних роботов.

How much technology will it take to make these things not creepy?
