NEC has introduced the PaPeRo Petit robot, which is about half the size of earlier PaPeRo senior companions, and a cloud computing system for services using the new robot. PaPeRo Petit combines multiple sensors (cameras, ultrasonic range finders, temperature sensor, and microphones) to detect people and look in their direction even in complete darkness. It can also link to online databases to better communicate with loved ones. The robot can recognize faces and has between 80 to 90 percent success rate at speech recognition.
