Meet Pepper - Sci-Fi or Reality?

Robot, it is a term mentioned as far back as the 1920's. The fictional tension of having a machine capable of human thinking, inspired many writers during the past century to come up with incredible science fictional stories. As time passed however, technology evolved beyond our wildest dreams and little by little, sci-fi became reality. The question is however, what has already been accomplished with our current technology and what remains science fiction? It is described as a humanoid robot, capable of executing and comprehending human speech, while interacting with the user in different ways.
