It seems 1,000 people just need a little robotic affection. When Pepper, the robot with a heart, went on sale Saturday in Japan, the 1,000 available units sold out online in one minute, the Japan Times reported.
Designed by robotics group Aldebaran for SoftBank, Pepper is a robot designed to live and interact with humans. With a cute, humanoid face and a screen on its chest, the little guy is designed to communicate and empathize using voice and touch.
