Munich Airport and Lufthansa start testing of humanoid robot in Terminal 2
“Josie Pepper” to provide information to passengers
She is 120 centimeters tall, with sparkling, round eyes and a pleasant voice: Starting today, “Josie Pepper” the robot will be answering questions for passengers in Terminal 2. Whether they need directions to their gate or want to stop at a certain restaurant or shop – Josie Pepper will look them in the eyes and give them a prompt answer (Have a look at Josie Pepper here: www.munich-airport.com/pepper
) With the rollout of Josie Pepper, Munich Airport and Lufthansa are breaking new ground: It is the first-ever test of a humanoid robot equipped with artificial intelligence at a German airport. For the next few weeks, Josie Pepper will welcome travelers to the non-public area of Terminal 2, which is jointly operated by Munich Airport and Lufthansa. In her initial deployment, Josie Pepper, who speaks English, will await passengers at the top of the ramp leading to the shuttle connecting the main terminal to the satellite building. This test phase will be used to show whether Josie Pepper is accepted by passengers.
FMG,Pepper Roboter,Flughafen München Josie Pepper’s “brain” contains a high-performance processor with a WLAN internet access. This creates a connection to a cloud service where speech is processed, interpreted and linked to the airport data. What sets the system apart: When this robot type speaks, it does not just deliver pre-defined texts. With its ability to learn, it answers each question individually. Just like a “real” brain, the system gets steadily better at combining questions with the relevant information to provide more precise replies.
IBM Watson Internet of Things (IoT) cloud-based, artificial intelligence technologies are behind Josie Pepper’s capabilities. Pepper was developed by the French company SoftBank Robotics. The lady robot was given the name “Josie” by the staff of Munich Airport and Lufthansa when she arrived at the airport.

A New High for Topical Pain Relief: Sacred Mind & Body’s New Products Include a Hemp Oil-Infused Lotion and Balm
The high-quality hemp oil-based body and personal care line, Sacred Mind & Body, introduces two topical pain relief products designed to soothe common aches and pains, including joint discomfort, sports injuries, and skin rashes, using only natural ingredients. The brand’s Pain Relief Lotion and Pain Relief Balm leverage ingredients such as Hemp Oil, Ginger Root-Infused Oil, and Turmeric in a luxurious skin-penetrating formula designed to ease soreness, cramping, and aches without the need for chemicals or potentially irritating ingredients like menthol. But don’t trip out over its use of hemp oil: the products are completely non-psychoactive.
“These pain relief products are the result of years of dedicated research, and we couldn’t be prouder to share them with the public,” says Silvia Orizaba, founder of Sacred Mind & Body. “We have embarked on a new era in self-care, one where consumers have become much more mindful of the ingredients they put on and in their bodies. Our pain relief lotion and balm answer the call for 100 percent natural external-use pain relievers that are actually affordable. These products are not only good for mollifying pain, but they happen to be really great for your skin too—that is something most menthol-based topical pain relievers cannot offer.”
While non-psychoactive hemp seed oil creates the basis for all of Sacred Mind & Body’s products, it is not the only star ingredient. In addition, the body and personal care line also harnesses the powers of several more of Mother Nature’s most healing ingredients and essential oils. While the brand offers a wide range of products, from massage lotions to personal lubricants, Sacred Mind & Body’s two newest products are its topical pain relief formulas:
Pain Relief Lotion by Sacred Mind & Body is a hemp-enhanced lotion rich with Violet Leaf-Infused Olive Oil and therapeutic essential oils, such as Myrrh, Frankincense, Tumeric, and Ginger. The silk-like lotion not only nourishes skin, but also penetrates deeper to ease irritation, inflammation, and aches.
Pain Relief Balm by Sacred Mind & Body is an entirely natural and carefully balanced hemp cream that can be used to treat stiff and aching muscles. An anti-inflammatory blend of Tumeric, Chamomile, Lavender, Ginger, and Frankincense essential oils are combined with other natural soothers, such as Violet Leaf-Infused Olive Oil, Ginger Root-Infused Oil, Meadowfoam Seed Oil, and of course, Natural Hemp Oil.
The kicker: both products retail for under $20.
From soothing tired feet to easing back pain to nurturing sore muscles after a high-intensity workout, the new Pain Relief Lotion and Pain Relief Balm from Sacred Mind & Body are serving up self-care the way nature intended.
About Sacred Mind & Body
Sacred Mind & Body introduces a premium line of hemp oil-based body and personal care products designed to heal, nurture, and relieve using Mother Nature’s purest ingredients. Mindfully crafted formulas leverage the naturally healing properties found in hemp seed oil and essential oils to stimulate circulation, promote cellular regeneration, reduce inflammation, relax sore muscles, and coax toxins out of the body. Products range from topical pain relievers to relaxing salt soaks to personal lubricants and massage oils. As part of its mission to promote peace and health in others, Sacred Mind & Body donates 10 percent of all proceeds toward breast cancer research.

About Serendipity: Serendipity got its start through, well, serendipity. Its founder was walking her dog Boo when she came across a dog left abandoned, tied to a tree in the blazing Florida sun without food or water. She rescued that dog, now named Bella, and thought about how much in life happens by chance. That led her to consider taking a chance of her own, leaving her job developing products for the skincare industry to start her own line. While Serendipity was started by chance, nothing else about the line is left to chance. The company takes great pride in making products that work while making ethical choices that benefit us all.
