Robots can now be your in-store greeter, what jobs should they take next? (Open_Tab)
Do you want to walk into the store and get help from a robot? Or ask an android waiter to fix a mistake with your meal at a restaurant? We chat about that possible future in this excerpt from Open_Tab.
Pepper the robot paid a visit to the United States this month to bring a new type of customer service to the country: "She" can read your emotions and react accordingly.
In this excerpt from Open_Tab, Jeff Bakalar, Mike Sorrentino and special guest Joshua Goldman chat about what it would be like to have a machine like Pepper in a department store, the jobs that robots could take away from helpless human beings in the future and bring in your comments about Pepper the robot from the live chat.
