Pepper – the emotional robot

 

Imagine a robot which can tell how you feel just by listening to the sound of your voice and looking at your body language. Meet Pepper, the ‘social robot’, which can understand human emotions!

 

Pepper was created by a French company called Aldebaran in 2014. It went on sale in Japan in 2015 and in the USA the following year.

 

Pepper is a humanoid robot. This means that it looks a bit like a person. It is 1.2 m tall with a head and two arms, and two wheels to move around. Its head has got four microphones and two HD cameras which allow it to navigate and connect with people. Pepper can understand 20 languages and it knows if it’s talking to a man, woman or child. It can also understand how a person is feeling by the tone of their voice and their body language. And if you’re feeling sad, it tries to make you happy! It can tell you a joke, sing a song and even dance to cheer you up!

 

Some hospitals use Pepper to greet new patients and walk with them to the correct department. Also, it can cheer up sick children and help them do their physical exercises!

 

The inventors of Pepper are always creating new software to improve the robot. They also say that Pepper itself has the ability to learn over time! So, who knows what Pepper will think of next to put a smile on our faces!
