1 +=== The Pepper robot ===
2 +
3 +The pepper robot was chosen due to multiple reasons. Its chest-mounted touchscreen provides an excellent display for showing recipes and the steps that need to be taken. It also offers an excellent tool for selecting recipes by allowing the user to scroll through them. Since the robot serves as a cooking assistant, the PwD needs to trust the robot to understand safety. The childlike and animal designs of the other robots could cause a lack of trust in the robot among the PwD. The wheeled base and multiple cameras allow the pepper robot to move around the kitchen and keep an eye on the cooking progress. Its gesture recognition capabilities could prove useful when monitoring cooking steps. See the table below for a comprehensive comparison between the Navel, Pepper, Nao, and MiRo-E robots.
