The robots, all named Pepper from SoftBank Robotics in Japan, are already working alongside humans at hotels, shopping centers, and other retail spots in parts of Asia and Europe. The emotional machines were introduced originally in Japan back in 2014. Slowly they are making their way to America. 。
A pilot program with the robots kicked off this week ahead of the Thanksgiving holiday at the Westfield Shopping Centre in San Francisco and Westfield Valley Fair mall in Silicon Valley, according to company spokespeople. This is the company's start of a robotics partnership with North American businesses.。

For now the robots are simply greeting mall-goers and offering some "high-tech holiday cheer" in the form of a robot selfie. They're also learning how to say "hello" in six languages and offering customers a chance to play an interactive game, a company press release stated. 。
SoftBank officials said come December, Pepper will be guiding shoppers to stores and restaurants with a map and directions. 。 SoftBank officials said come December, Pepper will be guiding shoppers to stores and restaurants with a map and directions.。The 。

Apparently Pepper is a tool retailers should expect to use with customers into the very near future. So look deeply into Pepper's big glowing eyes and start shopping. 。相关文章
