Laying in a hospital bed waiting for a physician, some patients in Höpital Pitié Salpétriére in Paris, France were not greeted by a doctor, but were instead met by Pepper — the caring, humanoid robot.
Pepper lent a (robotic) hand “during the COVID-19 pandemic, to allow patients on the intensive care ward to communicate with their family, who were not allowed to visit. The robot was able to stand next to the bed of the patient and used the tablet on its chest to deliver a video conference,” said Jonathan Davenport, senior research principal analyst at Gartner.
