Japanese sources reported that a Chinese company Foxconn Electronics and the Japanese telecommunications giant Softbank in the face of the company created a joint venture for the production of robots. The company Foxconn, as we have repeatedly reported, quite a long time and methodically seeks to automate the manufacturing process. Something she began to gather itself, something on the side orders. Replacing the assembly production of robots will help people to stay with us a fairly good level of profits and stay ahead of competitors. So far, however, the process of robotics assembly line goes tight enough, and in the company of Foxconn decided to approach the problem from the other side.
Instead of industrial robots Foxconn, and a joint venture Softbank plans to assemble robots for entertainment. It will be a relatively low-cost model with the function of a limited list of expressions of emotions and the ability to maintain a simple conversation. The Japanese are considered a nation with a high level of residents of retirement age. For the most part – a single people, who are not always even a trail, not to mention the content of domestic animals. Therefore, such people may well be robots to create the illusion of communication. Yes, it is a substitute, but better than to climb the wall of loneliness.
The first model series robot venture Foxconn and Softbank will become the model «Pepper». The unit has developed a division of Softbank, and will be responsible for the production of Foxconn. At first, during the year it is planned to produce about 10 thousand. Robot models Pepper. Separately, Chinese sources report that in the joint venture Softbank and Foxconn will soon go down this China’s largest Internet marketplace, the company Alibaba. Last robots will spread at the global level through its e-commerce channels.
