So Long, Pepper: Softbank Halts Famous Robot Production

SoftBank Group Corp has halted production of its famous Pepper robot and its continues to cut jobs at its robotics business, a report by Reuters explains. Internal documents reviewed by the global news firm state that production of Pepper robot was stopped last year, and that, financially, it wouldn't make sense for the company to stop and restart production in a short period of time. By all accounts, this looks like the end of the company's famous flagship robot.
