I feel sometimes that nobody understands me. Do you feel the same?
“Pepper” can actually change that feeling. He is the first World’s robot that can read emotions. He wants to make you feel good. Well, he will not do your homework or pick your dishes after you or even help you with writer’s workshop but he can converse with you. He can talk about everything from weather to sports. He can make jokes, dance and even rap…Wow!!!
Let me tell you how he reads emotions:
He has human like hands, is almost 4ft. tall (almost as tall as Simone Batra i.e. my sister), has many sensors and cameras on his face. When you are in front of him he will try to make an eye contact. His sensors help him with reading your emotions. He will then figure out your mood and then start a conversation. And here is a kicker – he can speak 17 languages.
A Japanese company named Sofbank created Pepper. He sells for almost 200,000 yen or little under $2000. Right now he is only selling in Japan but I am hoping he will be available soon for all of us.
“Pepper” is a very affectionate robot so that means he can be a good friend and make sad people laugh. I would love to talk about his views on the NBA finals someday.
