Customers in Asia will Soon Pay a Robot for Their Pizza

The next time you walk into a pizzeria in Asia, a robot might be standing there to greet you — and take your order. MasterCard is working on bringing its MasterPass digital wallet software to Pepper, a robot designed by SoftBank and Aldebaran Robotics. Pepper is said to have the capability to understand and process human emotion, and will be able to use your transaction history to suggest items as well as provide other information, such as nutrition facts, to the customer. With MasterPass support, customers will be able to pay from their smartphone like they would at any other ‘smart’ card reader.
