Here is a video I shot with the As100v of Pepper, a new robot by Japanese Telecommunications giant SoftBank. It can understand speech and respond to over 570 Japanese words. It will be on sale for 1,900$ next year.
While I was in Asakusa, I also spotted a couple walking their dogs, one of which had an As100v mounted to its back! (Photo taken with a Cannon 50D with a 24-105 F4L lens)
She was using the wrist watch to control the video and was actually getting some pretty cool footage with her setup!
I struck up conversation by pulling out my Sony and talked to her about her uses for this camera. It turns out she really loves her dogs and uses it mostly to "see from her dog's perspective." Glancing at her watch I saw that it really did look like "doggy vision."
So far she also really loves the camera as well. So I guess this camera is also good if you have a dog and really want to get some of that doggy vision.
