Unlike traditional robots, Pepper can detect human emotions and respond accordingly. In Japan, Softbank Mobile stores and banks are using Pepper as a new way to welcome customers. Pepper has also been adopted in Japanese homes as a friendly family member. In this program, a representative from Softbank Robotics Corp. shares behind-the-scenes stories, plans for launching Pepper in North America, and the impact of Pepper and artificial intelligence on society. In addition to a demonstration of Pepper\u2019s functionality and features, the program offers participants the opportunity to meet and experience Pepper during the reception.<\/p>\n<p>Speaker:<br \/>\nKenichi Yoshida, Chief Business Officer, EVP Business Development, Softbank Robotics Corp.<\/p>\n<p>Presider:<br \/>\nLaurie Segall, Senior Technology Correspondent, CNNMoney; Editor-at-Large, CNN Tech<\/p>\n<p>For more information visit: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.japansociety.org\/event\/meet-pepper-the-worlds-first-humanoid-robot-that-reads-human-emotions\" target=\"_blank\">www.japansociety.org<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Tuesday, March 28 06pm Japan Society 333 East 47th Street, New York, NY 10017<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":29,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[13],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-69690","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-stay-connected-to-the-latest-local-events"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.asianinny.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/69690","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.asianinny.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.asianinny.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.asianinny.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/29"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.asianinny.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=69690"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"http:\/\/www.asianinny.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/69690\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":69692,"href":"http:\/\/www.asianinny.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/69690\/revisions\/69692"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.asianinny.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=69690"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.asianinny.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=69690"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.asianinny.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=69690"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
