Bringing us much closer to artificial intelligence “AI” is Japanese telecommunications giant, SoftBank. Unveiling the Pepper Robot, the world’s first ever emotion sensitive robot, this clever droid can actually decipher and understand human facial expressions while being able to understand his very own. Utilizing an assemblage of highly capable sensors and cameras, the interactive bot can recognize and respond to human stimuli based on perceived emotions of others. A grand step indeed towards other intelligent “beings”, it will be quite interesting to see what steps are taken next.
