Pepper

pepper.png

Pepper is a commercially available humanoid robot built by Aldebaran and Softbank Robotics. Since the robot uses Aldebaran's NaoQI framework, we can use naoqi_driver ROS driver that is common for Nao, Pepper, and Romeo. It wraps the needed parts of NaoQI API and makes it available in ROS.

Community

There is an official SIG for NaoQI and Aldebaran's robots at https://groups.google.com/forum/?fromgroups#!forum/ros-sig-aldebaran. Please subscribe to it to get the latest news !

Tutorials

A list of tutorials inclusive install and bring-up instructions can be found under tutorials. Since Pepper and Nao both use the same NaoQI framework, see Nao's tutorials for further references.
