Spice up your life with Pepper

Have you ever felt as though nobody cares?

Those who replied, “Every moment!” might wish to consider adding Pepper to their sorry lives.

Pepper is not only an ideal companion for salt, but may also be an ideal buddy for you.  CNN explains that he (she? it?) is a “humanoid robot… so hot that he sold out within a minute.”

So hot?  Oh my! 

Pepper’s a bit on the small side by adult-human standards:  “… just under four feet tall, and weighing 61 pounds.”  However, it is rightfully said that good things come in small packages since Pepper’s raison d’etre is allegedly to “make you happy.”

Pepper has the programmed ability (which many humans lack) to read people’s emotions and   respond compassionately.  Although not (yet?) perfect, Pepper’s emotional IQ will continue to expand as he benefits from “collective wisdom gained from collective cloud data.”

In Japan, Pepper's price has been compared to that of a “pet dog.”  No contest there:  Pepper doesn’t bark, bite or mess the carpet.
