Meet Pepper — by HOMY Robotics

Be there for Mom, even when you can't be.

Pepper is a gentle home companion for your aging parent. It offers companionship, watches for falls, gives medication a soft nudge, and lets you video call in one tap — so you can finally exhale.

You're not alone in this

You're already doing the hardest job in the world. We built Pepper to help.

You call every day. You drive over on weekends. You lie awake wondering if Mom remembered her pills, if Dad's lonely, if either of them fell. You're one of 59 million Americans giving 49.5 billion hours of unpaid care every year — and your parents are part of the 9 in 10 who want to stay in their own home. HOMY Robotics wants to give you back some of that time, and your peace of mind.

This is what living with Pepper looks like.

A short look at Pepper at work in the home.

What Pepper will do for your parents

A gentle presence at home. A reassuring signal to you.

Five things Pepper does every day — the things that add up to a parent's whole day, and your peace of mind.

Companionship and emotional support

Pepper remembers your parent's stories, their grandkids' names, what they watched at 7. Real conversation — warm, patient, never canned.

Cognitive support and intellectual stimulation

Gentle memory prompts, daily conversation, news, music, and games — to keep the mind active without ever feeling like a test.

Medication and routine reminders

"It's a little after nine — your blue one when you're ready." A nudge, not a nag. You'll see what was taken and what was skipped, in your family app.

Safety monitoring and fall detection

If something's wrong, Pepper notices in seconds and reaches you, then 911. Quiet vigilance — never streaming her life, never a camera in her bedroom.

Telepresence and video calls with family

One-tap video calls she doesn't have to fumble through. You can drop in to read with grandkids, say goodnight, or just see her smile — anytime, from anywhere.

Privacy by design

You and your family decide what gets shared, with whom, and when. Pepper is built around the principle that your parent's home is theirs — not a livestream.

Pepper, full body — the home companion robot from HOMY Robotics
Meet Pepper

Designed to feel like a friend. Built to keep your parent safe.

Pepper stands about four feet tall, glides quietly between rooms on three wheels, and sees through 2D and 3D cameras. The 10-inch touchscreen on her chest is for family photos, video calls, and the occasional crossword — never for confusing menus.

Built on proven technology

Powered by SoftBank Robotics.

Pepper isn't a prototype. It's a mature humanoid platform from SoftBank Robotics — originally launched in 2014 and refined over the years across homes, hospitals, schools, and care facilities worldwide. HOMY Robotics brings that proven hardware together with care-focused software designed specifically for aging at home.

Pepper showing a heart — emotional companion for aging parents
For the small moments

Pepper isn't here to replace the people who love your parent.

Pepper is here to fill the long quiet hours between visits — a kind voice at 3 AM, a patient listener at lunch, a steady presence the rest of the time. The kind of presence we wish we could be, all the time, for the people who raised us.

A day with Pepper

What life with Pepper can look like.

An illustration of how Pepper supports a parent through the day — and keeps family in the loop.

Morning

A gentle good morning.

Pepper opens with a soft hello, asks how Mom slept, and helps her start the day. The family app shows a quiet "Mom's up" — nothing more, unless you want it.

Daily check-in
Mid-morning

Medication, on time.

A friendly reminder when it's time for the morning pills. The family app reflects what was taken and what was skipped.

Medication
Midday

A little stumble in the kitchen.

Pepper's sensors catch it and check in. If something seems off, you get a private heads-up. If it's an emergency, alerts go out immediately.

Safety
Afternoon

"Want to call your daughter?"

One tap. You answer between meetings — see her smile, hear her laugh, hang up feeling lighter.

Telepresence
Evening

The day, in a few lines.

An evening summary in the family app: sleep, activity, medication, social contact, and anything Pepper noticed. So you know — and can sleep.

For your peace of mind
Built with care

Trusted in the most personal place in the world: home.

We don't take being invited into your parent's life lightly. Every choice we make — from the chip we picked to the way Pepper says good morning — is checked against one question: would we want this for our own mother?

  • Physical emergency stop

    A button on the back of Pepper's neck halts all motion instantly. No menus, no apps.

  • Eye-safe Class 1M lasers

    Pepper's environmental lasers are independently certified as safe for direct human exposure under normal use.

  • Three obstacle-detection systems

    Lasers, sonar, and infrared sensors work together to avoid bumping into people, pets, and furniture.

  • Gentle by design

    Maximum wheel speed of 1.2 mph (slower than a stroll). Built to share space with people, not move past them.

Questions families ask

The answers we wish someone had given us.

It holds one of 500 founding-family spots. It's fully refundable until Pepper ships — if you change your mind for any reason, we send it back. If you go forward, the $200 applies to your first month's subscription or your one-time purchase.
Most founding families pick subscription — no big upfront cost, software updates and hardware swaps included, cancel anytime. Ownership is for families who want one Pepper for the long haul; software updates still included. Either way, you're locked into founding pricing for life.
Founding families are shipping in cohorts starting late 2026, in order of reservation. We'll keep you posted with monthly updates from the team. Earliest reservations get earliest Peppers.
We obsess over this. Pepper doesn't need apps, passwords, or charging cables to plug in. She just lives in your parent's space and starts conversations. Setup is designed to take about 20 minutes — usually done by you when you visit.
No. Pepper's perception runs locally and only acts on safety-relevant events — falls, sustained inactivity, distress. No video leaves the home unless she chooses to start a call.
Pepper is intended for parents with early-to-mid stage cognitive decline. She reorients gently, repeats with patience, and surfaces patterns to family that can be useful to share with their doctor. For late-stage dementia, please talk to us about whether Pepper is the right fit for your loved one yet.
