Robots cheer for SoftBank's baseball team in Japan instead of fans

Fukuoka SoftBank Hawks, a Japanese baseball team owned by SoftBank Group, witnessed robots cheering for them during a match instead of their fans. The SoftBank-made 'Pepper' humanoid robots wore team jerseys and cheered from the otherwise empty stands. Due to the coronavirus pandemic, fans aren't allowed to watch the Nippon Professional Baseball league in person until at least July 10.
