A 60-year-old man from Yokosuka, Japan, kicked an emotion-interpreting, rapping robot named Pepper. The man has admitted to damaging property. Pepper was unveiled by its French robotics overlords a company called Aldebaran in June 2014. The friendly humanoid seems determined to make everyone smile by talking, gesticulating (with somewhat unnervingly realistic hands) and by zipping around on wheels. Peppers emotion engine in turn is designed with artificial intelligence (AI) learning capabilities.”]
