Abstract
We took a social robot Pepper to a shopping mall for one
day to see what kind of initial responses it draws from
people. We observed that the robot was quickly surrounded
by children when there were others-especially
adults-interacting with it. The children seemed to
especially enjoy the activity-related applications, such
as tickling the robot or giving a high-five. Adults were
interested in hearing about useful applications and
tended to talk to the robot as if it were any machine
capable of speech recognition. These observations will
help to design more interactive and entertaining
applications for shopping mall robots.
