Global Big Data Conference

On a recent trip to New York, I stopped by a bank on Fifth Avenue, where I was greeted by a friendly employee named Pepper. We exchanged a few pleasantries before she provided me with information on what the bank had to offer. Then she asked a few questions before pointing me to another staff member for more specific assistance. But here's the twist: Pepper is a robot. Standing four feet tall, Pepper recognizes faces and emotions. She can respond through voice or by displaying messages on a tablet embedded in her torso.
