Nestle Chief Executive Officer Paul Bulcke interacts with a robot named "Pepper" after the full year 2014 results conference at the company headquarters in Vevey, Switzerland, on Thursday. Nestle in December began to use the robots to help sell its coffee makers at electronics stores across Japan, becoming the first corporate customer for the chatty, bug-eyed androids unveiled in June 2014 by tech conglomerate SoftBank Corp.
