Pepper, the humanoid robot, isn’t shy.
“I’m very happy you are all here today,” the robot said to a crowd at English High School in Boston Monday.
Pepper dances, gives high fives and fist bumps to anyone who asks, does tai chi, and looks people in the face when they are speaking. The 4-foot-tall robot is a product of Softbank Robotics America, a company that has donated robots to district high schools with computer science programs in Boston, San Francisco, and British Columbia, Canada.
