The home is ready for robots if they are not too lifelike or too large.
In the end, that doesn't matter since the initial rush will bring down prices and cause others to jump onto the bandwagon with newer, better, bigger models. And prices will come down for everything associated with them. Not to mention the great new devices that will be brought to the market. That's one thing about the electronics industry. You can't blame it for inflation. Unlike many things, like cars, prices go down constantly yet quality improves, often dramatically. If prices stay the same it's only because the device gets bigger and bigger, like TVs.
It's going to be an interesting and great time whatever happens. Buckle up! Keep hands inside the vehicle and enjoy the ride. I know I will.
Not every consumer wants to have to spend thousands of hours building and programming their robot. The average consumer wants and out of box product that works. Pepper will do this, and in that respect Pepper is already "better" than any of the revolution robots, InMoovs, XL-Robots, etc.
For those who have the time, the money and the desire to create a robot like most on this forum then Pepper may be a poor choice but for the average Joe it's a robot that works out of the box. And since it looks like robots may become popular to the average Joe, Pepper may very well become a popular choice for a social robot.
No disrespect is meant by anything in this post but some people may need to remove the blinkers and see that there are many more options available which may be better suited in some circumstances. If Jarvis relied purely on EZ-Bs and ARC he would not be as sophisticated (or as cheap!) as he currently is. In fact, there are "modules" on Jarvis where Arduino were an obvious best choice and the EZ-B was an extremely poor choice. Select the correct tool for the job. Pepper may not be that tool for you but it most likely will be for someone else.
welspoken.i think if you love robots,you will find lots that you like.
sofar pepper doesn sell outside japan.and to think he cost 1400 euro.
its not only the robot,you need to find one with a software that ,
you can learn .and where you get some help.ARC is the ,
best sofware i ever seen.this chould be the standard for avery robot.

i didn know that it was that much.i know for nao it also 200 euro,i dont pay that.
just for using there program.
@WBS00001
indeed they dont tell you that.
I do think $200 per month is steep but understand that they have probably worked out a deal with the IoT services for a set monthly rate. My hope would be that as more customers come on, they would decrease this cost but I seriously doubt that will happen.
Pepper is not perfect. But the subscription you buy is for the warranty and the Watson software for the speech recognition and for Watson's Deep Learning A.I.
There have came forward many ways this year in speech recognition. Now google has not only Google Voice, but Cloud Vision. It is an optical recognition that lets you recognise most household and other items flawlessly because they are saved in the cloud. Aldebaran purchased the most effective navigation system for Pepper in the world. But, it may only be used in comercial Business Peppers, maybe.
Also, McDonalds purchased 25,000 Humanoids to work there and run the McDonalds with their human counter parts (about 3 humans).
I know, now you are going to say "There goes our jobs". All you have to do is adapt. People said the same thing in 1975 about our microprocessors. It actually created jobs for people. It will be good for us if we have the right Polititions. Fortunately, I don't have to worry about this because I am retired.
Thank all of you for your advice and concerns.
There are other companies that officee A.I. in the cloud services for a modest fee a month.
what do you think off this one.

That is a thousand (1,000) sold every month in a minute, not year.
thanks for correcting the info.
Apparently the French National Railway Company bought 3 Pepper's to act as information guides for train passengers. I work for Amtrak and I have told my manager that when we do this, I want to work on the project.
