In the context of a Project for the ZHAW (Zurich University of Applied Sciences). the boundary and prospects of Social Robots in selling were investigated. A selling process is simulated using an existing social robot named Jibo.
The project is a proof of concept based on Jibo for a social Sales Robot. This code give Jibo the ability to serve as a sales assistant in a shop or directly from your home. It can understand what you want, help to find it and place an order for you.
It is only a proof of concept. It still has too many limits and problems to be used on a real case.
The behaviour of Jibo
This is a web service used for search the products. It provides an API, used from Jibo, that returns suggestions of product based on a query.
The Web Service runs on Play Framework and needs MongoDB as database.
Those are some dummy data for the database in order to test the entire Project.
