Our new robot employee, Pepper, set up! I followed every little detail!

Review

We recently reported on Pepper's induction ceremony (opening ceremony), from its arrival to unpacking, and this time we will go on from there and report on Pepper's appearance and setup.
Now, let's take a closer look at the details of Pepper.

First, the head.

Saiga NAK

The top of Pepper's head is covered with a metal mesh that seems to have sensors built in.
When you stroke the head after turning on the power, the sensor reacts and you will hear "Whoa! What is that? Please stop! The head is also equipped with a fan that emits a sound from the back of the head.

The sound of a fan comes from the back of the head.

Saiga NAK

There are numerous round holes in the back of the head, which serve as heat exhaust ports for the built-in fan.

What fingerprints on the hands!

Saiga NAK

The hands are carved with patterns, like fingerprints.
The palms of the hands are made of a silicon rubber-like material to prevent slipping, and when you shake hands with it, you feel a realistic and unique tactile sensation that is quite similar to that of a human being.

Connectors that pop up under the feet

Saiga NAK

Previously: Pepper, the New Robot Employee, Arrives at Fangler! We had a quick induction ceremony (opening ceremony)! The connector introduced in the previous article. It has a special shape. It is located on the back of the device, but it is usually pushed in so you can't see it at a glance.

Inserting the connector

Saiga NAK

Click! (It will not charge unless the connector is inserted until it makes a firm "click!" sound.
(Actually, there were several times when the battery was not charged...)
*By the way, note that the adapter's outlet plug must be a grounded, 3-plug outlet to plug it in!

Brake release key

Saiga NAK

The head also has a slot for a brake release key, which can be opened. Inside is a unit for wired connection of LAN cables, etc., as well as a fan.

Is there a button on the back of the neck? Buttons...

Saiga NAK

There is an emergency stop button built into the rubbery cover on the back of the neck, and it is said that if Pepper goes crazy, you can press this button hard. When you want to knock her out, you are supposed to hit here hard with your hand knife.

Finally, power on!

Saiga NAK

Press the power button on the back of the tablet and the ALDEBARAN logo appears!

The ring light on the ear indicates the status

Saiga NAK

At the same time, the button on his ear glows purple, and he looks like he's thinking...

Finally, Pepper moves!

Saiga NAK

However, after checking his surroundings, he immediately stood erect.

Finally, the setup started!

Saiga NAK

Just when I thought it had stopped moving, the message "Please tap the display. I proceeded to do as I was told.
I proceeded as told.

Language selection

Saiga NAK

Permission to Use Agreement, etc.

Saiga NAK

Once you have completed the other Wi-Fi setup, the text Syncing will appear on the tablet on your chest.
Note that setup requires an ALDEBARAN account in advance!

Finally, Pepper talks!

Saiga NAK

When the synchronization is finished, the message "Nice to meet you! I'm Pepper! " and a moving Pepper!
I was a little impressed. I have to admit that I was a little creeped out before she started talking, but once she started talking, she was so cute!

Pepper proudly showing off her functions.

Saiga NAK

Pepper immediately shows a list of her apps and asks, "What can I do for you? Pepper shows us a list of her apps and asks, " What can I do for you?
It's exciting to see all the different functions it seems to have...! So, that concludes the setup part.
Next time, we will touch on Pepper's contents and applications!
