Lol!

This is how far we have come?

No wonder Japan had to ask the US and France for robotic help after the Fukushima nuclear disaster.

Under what law those robots request to wear mask? And what type of mask do they request? So far no chemist could sell me any type of mask that gives me a virus protection.

Why doesn't the robot set a good example and have one on.

It should detect when the nose isn't covered by the mask !

I still fail to get the logic in all this.

We are in the middle of a world wide pandemic and their government is telling it’s people to wear mask and build robots to tell them so,but on the other hand they promote the go to travel and eat things and trains are getting pack as usual.

I’m amazed how the people of Japan always blindly follow each rule that is thrown as them without even seriously questioning it’s veracity.

You seem to be confused - a request is not law.

It is just sad. These pepper things or no better than what I played with in the 70’s.

I do not need a robot anyhow, I always wear a mask but that thing is an insult

When do we see one of these robots being turned into scrap by an irate human?

Couldn’t this be done with a sign? Do they really need a quirky gadget to tell them what to do?

Pepper = me leaving the store immediately. Too creepy.

Pull the plug on this thing... Since when does a robot has legal jurisdiction over a human...

It doesn’t. Nor is it attempting to exert any. The robot states a request. If you want to ignore it, go ahead.

But note that people will look down on you as a lesser human being for that.

No wonder that everywhere the department stores die in legions. What number of customers is needed alone to outbalance the costs for that stupid robot crap with their money spending...and there is still no incoming profit and employees’ wages , sale goods storage costs, building maintenance or energy costs etc. paid after that. lol
