Have you ever had the feeling that no one can understand you? Well, here comes “Pepper”, it could be about to change all that. Pepper is the first robot to read human feelings. Using its emotion recognition functions
(情感识别功能), Pepper can make jokes, dance and even sing to people when they are around it.
The robot looks like a lovely girl. It is four feet tall with a tablet computer in its chest. It has human-like hands, a girl-like body and baby-like voice. It was shown to attract people at stores on Friday.
Pepper can tell facial expressions, human voice and signs, then make an answer. Pepper is designed to be a family robot, but it isn’t like the household robot on the cartoon. Pepper is used at home or store, where we enjoy pleasure and entertainment.
At home, not only can it tell jokes, it also helps people in trouble. If a natural accident happens, it can encourage them, make them laugh and feel relaxed.
Pepper will be on sale at the price of $2,000 in August, 2015. At present, several Peppers are on show at stores for people to visit. Before selling Peppers, the creators want them to store more knowledge in order to get better along with human beings.
