Pepper is a friendly humanoid designed to be a companion in the home and help customers at retail stores. It talks, gesticulates, and seems determined to make everyone smile.

Pepper was unveiled by Masayoshi Son , founder and chairman of telecom giant SoftBank at a Tokyo event in 2014. French robotics company Aldebaran, maker of the Nao humanoid, built the robot for SoftBank . Designed to be a companion in the home, Pepper was the world's first full-scale humanoid to be offered to consumers. In 2015, SoftBank started selling it in Japan for 198,000 yen (less than US $2,000), plus a monthly subscription fee. Taiwanese electronics manufacturer Foxconn, known for building iPhones for Apple, produced the robots. Despite initial excitement, Pepper didn't find widespread adoption in homes.
