5 5  While Navel provides advanced interaction capabilities and a human-like figure, it is difficult to program for and does not offer a tablet interface to assist as a visual aid.
6 6  Therefore, we decided on Pepper, since it outperforms NAO in studies [2], is easy to program for using Python and offers an expressive humanoid form and a large tablet to assist as a visual aid and for touch controls.

It features four microphones, two RGB cameras, and a 3D sensor on its head, along with touch sensors on its hands and chest. Additionally, Pepper's legs are equipped with sonar, laser, and bumper sensors, along with a gyro sensor for balance. These sensors work together to allow Pepper to recognize faces, interpret emotions, and navigate its surroundings with precision [4].
