Pepper

Pepper is the first humanoid robot designed to live with humans and made by Aldebaran Robotics, the creator of NAO and Romeo. 

The main function of Pepper is to help meet a person’s emotional needs. Pepper is social companion robot that can not only recognize you but is also able to have a conversation with you, react to your emotions, and move and live autonomously.
