My husband went to Tokyo recently and had the opportunity to meet Aldebaran's Pepper and a new robot called RoboHon: a new smartphone robot that can talk, walk and dance besides other regular features of a telephone.

RoboHon's price has not yet been released, in case you are thinking of buying it :)
