Hey, chronolitus thanks!
We've looked and interacted with Pepper, but they're distant from what we're building. They've got more of a research purpose, we are going full-blown social robot.
For the sensors, we're using the feedback we've got from all the 19 servo motors since they're closed-loop servos.
For the ML part, all the visual perception is being done the Jetson and only the audio and NLP is off-loaded towards the cloud. For the body planning, it's all developed through inverse kinematics and dynamic balancing ... no need for ML :)
