A press release from the company presents “PaPeRo Mini”, a droid-like mobile robot. As the name suggests, the machine is smaller than previous versions of PaPeRo (25 cm tall instead of 38 cm).
As before, the PaPero Mini intends to serve as a “conversational robot”: it can move around and is able to perform speech recognition, speech synthesis, sound source detection and face recognition.
I’m not sure they intend to sell it on a short time basis though.
