PePeRo Blog Bot

By Evan Ackerman

NEC’s PaPeRo personal robot has recently gotten some programming enhancements that apparently allow it to write your blog posts for you. It’s not just simple speech recognition: according to (a translated version of) an NEC press release, PaPeRo listens to what you say and is capable of restructuring the text from conversation form into article form. It’s also able to recognize keywords in the conversation, and then search the internet for multimedia (including video) to include in the post. I’ll believe it when I see a blog post written by a PaPeRo… But honestly, even if it doesn’t work especially well, I’d read it anyway just because it was written by a cute little bot.
