I have scraped up my life's savings and sold almost everything I have to be able to afford the Pepper. (I am not there yet, but I have some of it. I wanted a robot that I do not have to work on since medically, I can't) , and one that I could play with programing it. And, one that could live with me the rest of my old age without having me to fix it or such. Chroregraph is an Excellent software. It is the main reason for purchases of Pepper or Nao. In contrary to what was said earlier, Choregraphe is FREE on the Aldebaran Site for Developers. And they have sold around 7000 peppers so far. They have been selling 1000 a month for many months now in a row.
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.
I am going to show the retailer what I have saved and throw myself at the mercy of the place to put the rest on credit. IF they say "no" I will try outside sources. If no then, I will purchase just the Pepper without any software.
There are other companies that officee A.I. in the cloud services for a modest fee a month.
I looked at that one very very hard. It is almost a NAO. But, sadly, none of the robots but Pepper, Romeo and NAO come with Choregraphe which is what I need to program them with.
Aldebaran is giving choregraphe away FREE. Are you telling me you can simply hook up the Ver 2 Alpha and it will work with Chroegraphe. Just like that! I would be surprised.
sofar the pepper doesn chip outside japan for now.
i believ first year is chreograph for free then its 150 euro.you can choose,
not to pay and still use the program but you dont get help.
atleast thats my exsperiants.
