A special division of the Japanese telecommunications corporation SoftBank together with the French company Aldebaran Robotics, the creator of Nao and Romeo, is working on the Pepper robot. Produces Foxconn robots.

This sweet creature is able to read emotions and reacts to them in conversation with a person. The head of the corporation describes Pepper as “the world's first personal robot with emotions.” Pepper studies actions, adapts to human behavior, and the experience of interaction sends artificial intelligence to the cloud system for the most effective training. In addition to the cost of the robot itself, the buyer will have to pay a monthly subscription to keep Pepper “fit”.
