Pepper the Robot is working at the Smithsonian for free

SoftBank's Pepper the humanoid robot has held a variety of odd jobs over the past few years, but a gig at the Smithsonian may be its most prestigious yet. Starting today, visitors can interact with Pepper at six Smithsonian locations to inquire more museum information, play games, or ask it to pose for a selfie. It even has its own security badge. Come say hi to Pepper at our Castle building, @NMAfA, @NMAAHC, @SmithsonianEnv and @hirshhorn. Pepper was created by Softbank Robotics, who provided us with a number of Peppers as part of this pilot.
