Pepper Model

The humanoid robot system "Pepper", built by SoftBank Robotics, has been part of our team since September 2016.

Pepper is 1.20m tall and can perform complex movements with his upper body. His lower body is on wheels, so that Pepper can move as well.

Several languages are available - for our purposes Pepper can understand and speak both English and German.

Pepper's main purpose and primary competence is the interaction with humans. In addition to the natural language ability to communicate in several languages, another outstanding feature  is the ability to recognize people's emotions and to imitate human emotions.

Pepper's entire nature and behavior are designed and aligned to be "liked" by humans. This is why the manufacturer describes him as "friendly, loveable and surprising".

This makes Pepper an ideal companion for humans.
