In the past, Japan was the leader in the world when it comes
to robotic technology. But today, it seems that they are losing their grip as
other countries are progressing in the same field and these robot manufacturers
are even surpassing Japan. To prevent losing the market and this advantage over
other countries, the Japanese government is making a huge investment in this
sector to keep an edge in this industry over other countries. Japan’s first emo
robot in the world named Pepper is a good example of this attempt. This new
robot is a large leap when it comes to artificial intelligence, Pepper is
capable of reading facial expressions, body and voice tone to come up with a
right response according to these factors. Pepper will be seen functioning in a
mobile phone store in Omotosando which is an upmarket shopping district located
in Tokyo.
The Pepper is of total 120 centimeters height and is
designed in a cute way with puppy dog eyes. The Robot will be sold next year
for a retail price of $2000 and is considered to be a household Robot that can
do many things related to it. Japanese Government and industry have some huge
plans for robots such as Pepper and other robots like it. A total of 30 million
of such robots manufacturing, it seems Japan is definitely transforming to
become the Top robot manufacturer in the world.
