Social Robot

<Describe the selection of the social robot you intend to use. The description includes the reasons for this selection and the characteristics of this specific robot.>

After comparing multiple choices of robots, we decided to work with the Pepper robot for implementing and evaluating our system.

Pepper is a humanoid robot developed by SoftBank Robotics. It's chosen for its expressive embodiment and speech interaction capabilities. Pepper combines speech, gesture, and touchscreen communication, which allows it to provide verbal prompts, visual checklists, and empathic feedback during workplace interactions. Its integration with Choregraphe and Social Interaction Cloud also supports future connection to LLMs. Besides, the robot is compact and capable of moving autonomously, so it's easy to maneuver in different places.
