Nestl é buys a batch of robots to sell coffee machines in Japan

On December 2, Nestl é bought a batch of Twitter robots to sell coffee machines in Japanese electronics stores as free employees. The hippie smiley and eloquent robot is called Pepper, and the manufacturer claims it can answer customers' questions.

"what kind of coffee do you like? The first: eye-opening coffee; the second: a cup of after-dinner coffee, "Pepper asked a TV host at a promotion on Monday.

The robot is 120 centimeters tall and has a face on a white plastic body and something that looks like a tablet in front of its chest. The manufacturer says Pepper can understand 80% of the conversation. Eventually, a thousand Nestl é stores across Japan will have their own Pepper robots. "the robot helps us find out what customers need by talking and talking to customers," Nestl é and SoftBank, the developer of Pepper, said in a joint statement.

SoftBank unveiled the Pepper robot in July. Since then, the robot has sold mobile phones in SoftBank and 74 stores in Japan, and it is used to collect customer feedback.

Engineers claim that the robot's artificial intelligence system allows it to expand its conversational ability by listening to customers. Pepper will go on sale in February with a price tag of 198000 yen ($1670) plus a monthly fee.
