"Softbank says it plans to launch the robot
commercially in Japan next year
Japanese firm Softbank has unveiled a robot
called Pepper, which it says can read human
emotions.
It uses an "emotional engine" and a cloud-based
artificial intelligence system that allows it to
analyse gestures, expressions and voice tones.
The firm said people could communicate with it
"just like they would with friends and family" and
it could perform various tasks.
It will go on sale to the public next year for
198,000 yen ($1,930; £1,150).
"People describe others as being robots because
they have no emotions, no heart," Masayoshi Son,
chief executive of Softbank, said at a press
conference.
"For the first time in human history, we're giving
a robot a heart, emotions"
