COVID robocop: the droid that reminds you to wear your mask

Pepper looks like a crazy robot coming towards you.

No, it looks like a plastic toy with a tablet round its neck.

Doesn’t look intimidating enough! Now if you used the Boston Dynamics Big Dog robot — then people will comply very quickly!

Not intimidating enough. Need ED-209.

Cool! Japan should definitely eye exporting a lot of of this tech worldwide, the applications are limitless.

Fine. Put a mask on that hideous robot, first of all.

Let's just call it as it is, a tape-recorder in a huge plastic robot-shaped body. Nothing else. GEEZ.

I give it a month before someone punches it with one of the following excuses:

”I didn’t want to wear a mask “

”I was drunk and I can’t remember”

OR....

DRUMROLL....

”I wanted to know how it feels to kill a robot”

Have the robo Pepper guy pull out a hypodermic needle and really scare the beejeezus out of the non mask wearing culprit. If not, then don't waste your time.

The photo is scary! Pepper looks like a crazy robot coming towards you.

This robocop looks like a Fisher Price toy robot, kind of like the ones I played with as a kid.

WHY? Why, why, why....

I do not understand this robot-mania in Japan.

I do not judge, I just do not understand.

Indeed, an ugly outdated toy. If that is Softbanks Hi-TEC’s best effort they better close doen.

a1960 wind up toy with a camera will look better.
