 And here we have the Pepper, the robot here in CB 2017. So what's the latest with Pepper? I mean, we're here today to introduce our ecosystem of partners. I mean, we have been at last year developing a network of partners, over 70 partners in Europe, who are developing a vertical solution on the robot. So I mean, these partners are providing, I would say, the last software layer on the robot. Hi, so do you work on this? Yes, we work on Pepper. So what are you doing with this? We are developing software for healthcare, for example, or retail shops. Healthcare and retail shops. So there's all kinds of specific use cases that can be developed, right? Yeah, and basically, I mean, as you know, Submax Robotics, we are the company with developing the platform and all the software that make that robot alive, and also all the software that allow our partners to develop the last layer of a solution. And typically humanizing technology are focusing on retail and healthcare. But I mean, we have other partners here. I mean, and we're showcasing... Are they using it? Excuse me, I don't understand anything. Stop. It's okay. Can you do it with the robot? Hello, speak German. Schade. Maybe the next topic. So there's a... Pepper, when it's in the store or supermarket or somewhere, it's like an attention grab, right? Pepper, it's more than that, you know. We have been now deploying projects in Europe, such as in the Carrefour upper market, where the robot is a wine advisor, it's a sommelier. We have Pepper on board or Costa Cruz, where the robot is an hostess, welcoming passenger on board, answering, you know, the frequently asked questions about how do I connect to the Wi-Fi. So we're working with persons such as PWC here. We're really developing use cases for Pepper in all the Costa Cruz chips, as well on Audi car dealers, you know. So there's one Pepper on a chip. There is 30 Pepper on Costa Cruz chips. We're welcoming passengers. In 30 different chips? In five different chips, you know. So there's like... We're giving information about the daily activities. There's unlimited possibilities in the movement and the sounds and the speech and AI. There's lots of stuff. There's a lot of stuff. I wouldn't say unlimited because, I mean, we build it as a humanoid robot. He has more or less the same limits in terms of the human, you know, in terms of behavior as you know. We want to say something else, yeah. Super. Thank you. You can certainly get the last answers from my human colleagues. They are here to help you. If you want, we can record a special message which I will send to the manager. Would you like to? Sure. So what is this demo going on here? There was a satisfaction survey demo. That robot is demoing all the capabilities of a robot in retail. I mean, tourism and ask her. So, you know... So are you going here in tourism? Yeah. So you're asking, for example, to have you with your booking. Manage my booking. Can you wait? That's my boarding pass. Can I help you with your booking? Yes, please. Please show me your booking QR code, or fill in your name and booking reference on my tablet. Thanks. Let me retrieve your booking. Hello, Mr. Abbott. Here is your next flight. How can I help you? I want to change my seat. I want to change my seat. Let's change your seat. Oh, there are very few seats available. Only two on the top floor. Would you prefer to be seated next to the aisle or next to a window? Next to a window, please. Window, okay. I give you the seat each time. It is located on the top floor, next to a window, so no one will wake you up during the night to take a walk. Is this okay for you? Yeah, thanks a lot. Do you need something else? Send my boarding pass. Send me my boarding pass. I can send your boarding pass if you give me your phone number. So, do you have airlines doing this already? Please fill in on my tablet. We're not yet. That was something we developed. A potential use case. That's definitely a potential use case, you know. Basically, we're just, you know... So, when you go to a self-check-in, you can actually be there with the robot. Instead of having the kiosk, I don't know if you experience the kiosk, but if you experience as the passenger is pretty poor, the robot will help you to do things correctly, you know. But I mean, that's in the case of Europe, but I mean, we have companies using robots as a receptionist also. So, you come to see it, you say you have an appointment with someone, you send an SMS or an email, and the person is coming to receive you. This guy's got a tie. It's got a butterfly. What does it do with this guy? I mean, that's the solution of another partner. We're doing, you know... The robot is providing various services. I mean, unfortunately, he's in German, and my German is not too good. So, who are you? What's your company? I'm Moritz from ICS Group. So, what is the demo? This is Pepper, the work company in Germany. That is a monster. The monster. Do you program the whole bunch of different movements? You don't know what it is? It's a Japanese company, originally, and we are a German company, ICS Group, and we do the development of the software itself. How is it to work on software on the Pepper? What do you think about it? About the software. Is it a cool platform? The language is Python, so that's the program language, and then you can program the robot part. Just Python? Just Python. So, is it easy? More or less. I'm not a programmer. So, I'm only the salesman who tries to sell the robot. So, I'm hoping there's a lot of traction in Germany. Some companies want to get this. How is it going with the traction in Germany? Yeah, we have a lot of opportunities, and that's why we're here at Cebit. To give you opportunity to our partners, to present the first prototype solution that we've been developing. It's just the first step. We'll be improving that, but as we know, there's a lot of interest in retail, a lot of interest in tourism. Companies like Deutsche Bahn already are investigating media march in Germany and looking at the robots. We mentioned together Costa Cruz and the German subsidiary Ida Cruz are also already testing robot ownership. So, the interest in terms of, we talk here about digitalization and digital. The robot is really the best compromise between humans and digital, because it's a humanoid platform and it's providing in physical place the power of internet. And that's really the value today for businesses with humanoid robots. And the PEPA is still the best humanoid robot for mass production, right? I mean, there is no other company today that has sold as many robots as we did. You're the leader. Sorry? You're the leader. We're the leader today. Hopefully we start to see some Chinese company coming over market, which you know, it's always good and frightening to see competitors, but we also know that if there is no competitor, there is no market. So, we're pretty happy to see that the market is moving in Europe, in Japan and the US. We know that we're the leader, but it's also a challenge because that just forced us to continue to invest in research and investment because PEPA is a wonderful product but we still need to be ready for the next step and that's the thing we're working on. And has things changed this year when South Bank has acquired ARM? Do you feel there's even more acceleration in the future potential of emerging and developing robotics and also IoT and getting everything to work together? I mean, that's a strategic move for South Bank as a company. I mean, it has only yet impacted the robotic division of South Bank as we are, but we already have contact with ARM and in fact, we are using ARM technology on our robots, you know that already. Is it public with ARM? Sorry? What chip do you use? We use an old ARM 11 that in fact is an act as a microcontroller to schedule and synchronize all the other microcontrollers that we have at the motors level. There's many microcontrollers in there, right? Yeah, there is that beyond. On each motor you have a DS chip microcontroller, then you get the ARM and you get the CPU itself. So, better of a tablet, correct? Yeah, yeah. But there's a huge potential for things to... I'm looking for the future robots. You also had another one, Romeo, right? That's walking around. Romeo is a bit of an unusual robot for a South Bank robotic because the robots we do design, I mean, we normally design them to go directly into mass production and to be affordable. Romeo is for us, you know, like a Formula One. It's our research platform and we use that for the stuff that is going to be a key development for the company is to be able to develop a robot that will act as a companion at home to serve people losing their autonomy. So, it's an ongoing project. I mean, yeah, we already are working with an alpha-rozen of a European research lab to continue to make progress on Romeo. But I mean, Romeo technology is used in paper, you know, we have been using some of Romeo technology on paper. But I mean, you only imagine that I mean, yeah, we have now Romeo on paper and we continue research, we continue development and our ambition is to come with a wider family. I mean, yeah, today, I mean, the paper we're showing this year is not the same version last year. There has been improvement in some of the... John, in some of the, you know, mechanical elements of the robot, as well as the tablet, we have, you know, changed the tablet we had last year for a more efficient tablet on the robot. And we... That's a key challenge, you know, specifically with players such as Alexa coming on the market, they define a new expectation level for the voice reconnection on devices. That's something that, you know, we started the work a long time ago, in fact, but I mean, we're close to bringing results on the robot in terms of changing the hardware and improving the hardware to improve the voice recognition. Is there any chance we can have for consumer? Are you... I'm not trying to get any secrets, but I think it would be great if there was a consumer addition. A more affordable version? I think we all know that, I mean, to become big on that market, we will need at some stage to have a consumer product. We think it's still, I mean, still a bit early. We still need to work, you know, on a lot of technology. I mean, it's key also to, you know, get the right level of natural language processing capabilities on the robot. Consumers are expecting to be able to talk, interact with the robot as they do with the human. So, unless we're ready for that, it's going to be difficult to go to the market.
