Trust
Trust Pepper as a known greeter. Do not transfer that to biped warehouse claims — different machine class.

Decision
Availability
Limited: Japan commercial rental. Home/education migration was not a launch-day given.
All-in
You rent a service, not a robot on a pallet. Content, SIM, and a person to stage it are part of the month.
Plan-change
Original Pepper (2014) is prior gen on this page. Aldebaran’s EU Pepper/NAO assets went another way in 2025 — do not assume one global SKU.
