Robot Intelligence Profile

Overview, buying status, and research notes

What it isPepper is a humanoid from SoftBank Robotics. Social humanoid service robot This profile focuses on what is published today: size, payload, runtime, mobility, software access, safety claims, and whether buyers can actually purchase or deploy it.
Availability and pricingPepper is currently listed as discontinued. Pricing is Historical pricing varied by plan/region; current public page says pricing differs by scene or field. That buying status matters because a preorder, pilot, enterprise quote, prototype, or discontinued model means very different things for buyers.
Best fitBased on its published specs and positioning, Pepper is most relevant for reception, customer service. It should be evaluated as a practical robot for the intended job, not only as a brand name or demo video.
What to watchPublic specifications can change as the manufacturer releases new details. Verify release timing, purchase availability, safety claims, autonomy level, SDK or ROS access, payload, runtime, battery details, sensors, hand design, actuator details, walking speed, and stable manufacturer measurements.
Comparable robotsA useful comparison set for Pepper includes Tesla Optimus, Figure 02, Unitree G1, Apollo, Digit, NEO, Phoenix, Walker S, GR-2, Unitree H2. Compare price, availability, height, weight, payload, runtime, DOF, walking speed, hands, software access, service model, and deployment evidence.
Specs that matterPepper has 29 public specification details listed on this profile. Specification highlights include Price: Historical pricing varied by plan/region; current public page says pricing differs...; Availability: discontinued; Height: 1210 mm; Weight: 29 kg; Runtime: Approximately 12 hours in shop use; DOF: 20 moving parts / motors; Speed: Up to 3 km/h; Battery: 30.0 Ah / 795 Wh; Actuators: 20 actuators minimum (estimated from total DOF). The important question is whether the published capabilities match the actual work: lifting, walking, sensing, manipulating objects, operating safely, and being supported after deployment.
