Oral and written languages are two distinct methods of
communication – we do not speak the way we write. Unlike
written communication, verbal language is informal and
flexible; this is how Pepper speaks.
Keep in mind that Pepper speaks just like us. Pepper's
communication involves actual spoken expressions and even
verbal phrases or sounds (that is to say, logical connectors). It's
important to write the way we speak. Pepper can't read text
written for publication, such as online content.
Don't: "Hello, my name is Pepper, and I am a humanoid robot. I am
fully equipped to be able to communicate with humankind. I am
connected to the Internet. I have sensors and much more."
Do: "Hi! I'm Pepper. I'm designed to communicate with people, just
like you!"
