My small robot family at an convention of the company I'm working at. We're evaluating how we can use robots in banking. Maybe some day we can put them into a real bank office, but the path is tough because robots sometimes have there own mind and not giving a fuck about what I program them to do...

Hello fellow Robots *beep* *boop*

Names? And the os?

@Jop- great!
(wait... How do you know this?)

Wait, are you the guys at HU that showed off these for possible airport use?

If you think about doing something with pepper, think about this:
The microphones are placed nicely inside the head, right next to the cooling fans...
Thats the level of engineering you can expect from the robot and its sdk🙈

I'm writing my master's degree dissertation on a work with them lol their documentation is so bad but they're pretty fun to work with!
Which company do you work for?

@magicleon Yeah they are cute and all, thats why everyone buys them😂 But damn some party are abysmal, like that tablet😅

I think its better to not answer that 😉

What are you building with it?

@thiemok I've write some software sensors to emulate human feelings of articular pain and fatigue, anxiety for unfriendly people coming close, pleasure for caresses on the head and pain due to too high noise around the robot

@magicleon sounds great! Pepper probably isn't the worst tool for that job

@thiemok nah it's good too, because it's intended to work with humans "more" than Nao. Something to make it react accordingly to the human behaviour (maybe the stranger is staying too close, so fall back to reduce the discomfort) is more desirable in Pepper than in Nao, which does not interact with humans at the same level

Oh I've read "pepper IS the worst tool" lol

@Jop- Nao interacts mostly with kids and I have always seen it more like an "entertaining" robot. You place it on the table, make him dance, talk to it, but it's still "a toy" or "a baby". Pepper is bigger, can walk across rooms and is intended to be a "substitute" of a human guide in public places like museums or similar. You don't expect Nao to guide a tour, you expect it to dance, perform small "toy" task and stuff like that. That is my point of view, I see pepper more like a "humanoid" and now more like an exhibition toy

Funny, I should have found this topic earlier. I just wrote a blogpost about this subject ;-)

Very curious about your reflections on that! ;-)
