Japanese scientists build an amazing robot that has emotions
Japanese firm Softbank has unveiled a robot
called Pepper, which it says can read human emotions.
It uses an "emotional engine" and a cloud-based artificial intelligence
system that allows it to analyse gestures, expressions and voice tones.
The firm said people could communicate with it "just like they would
with friends and family" and it could perform various tasks.
It will go on sale to the public next year for 198,000 yen ($1,930;
£1,150).
"People describe others as being robots because they have no emotions,
no heart," Masayoshi Son, chief executive of Softbank, said at a press
conference.
"For the first time in human history, we're giving a robot a heart,
emotions."
The firm will deploy prototypes of the robot at two of its stores from
Friday, allowing customers to interact with them.
