Johnner1999 Posted September 2, 2014 Share Posted September 2, 2014 it seems that Sprint Stores may/will get Pepper to sell next year. http://webcast.softbankmobile.co.jp/en/conference/20140605/index.html#_ga=1.104502855.679524500.1409658837 http://seekingalpha.com/news/1961395-softbank-to-sell-robot-at-sprint-stores-by-next-summer I think this is cool... ... but assume magenta folks and John will have too much fun with this. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KD8JBF Posted September 3, 2014 Share Posted September 3, 2014 I'm not digging the "Labor Efficiency" that Masa Son is proposing....Robots replacing humans in jobs....won't be a good thing....for the economy.... http://www.bizjournals.com/kansascity/news/2014/09/02/sprint-softbank-robot-pepper.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Robots are efficient, don't talk back, and can work 24/7 without break. Maybe I'll go into the robot repair business...

WiWavelength Posted September 3, 2014 Share Posted September 3, 2014 I'm not digging the "Labor Efficiency" that Masa Son is proposing....Robots replacing humans in jobs....won't be a good thing....for the economy.... It could be "labor efficiency." Alternatively, when Japanese businessmen get all excited over robots, it could mean sexbots. AJ 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarshieZ Posted September 3, 2014 Share Posted September 3, 2014 This is pretty neat, I'm scared to know what the price tag is on him though. They should market this to the "forever alone" people. I could see it now, walking down the sidewalk holding hands with your "robot friend." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bigmachine Posted September 3, 2014 Share Posted September 3, 2014 Maybe Pepper can take over for a certain managed services company that Sprint contracted with a few years back. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At least that way he might help alleviate at least one of their many coverage gaps. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
