Pepper was designed by Aldebaran and the four foot robot has been specifically designed to interact with humans.

The robot is designed to be a social companion, for instance, if you laugh then Pepper understands that you are happy and in a good mood. On the flip-side, if you have a frown on your face he knows that something is bothering you. He can understand a range of emotions, such as sadness, joy, surprise, anger and doubt. He understands your mood from your facial expressions, choice of words and body language and can adapt appropriately to your mood. If Pepper thinks you are sad, he will play you a song to try and cheer you up. Along with being able to understand your emotions, Pepper can also express his own emotions via gesture, body language and voice.

He comes with a 3D camera that helps him to learn about his surroundings and interact with people up to 10 feet away from him. He has 14 hours of battery life and more than 40 innovative patents.
