Humanlike robot Pepper came onto the market in Japan in 2015. Now it’s being sold to companies in the US and in Europe. The robot with the cute eyes can talk, walk (on wheels), do small tasks and make jokes. In Austria the robot is part of research at the Vienna University of Technology. It’s interesting to see how people, especially children, immediately feel attached to the robot. But how human is this robot actually?
