SoftBank Group Corp. (TSE:9984) is in talks to sell the Paris-based robotics business behind its Pepper android to United Robotics Group Health & Food GmbH, according to sources and documents reviewed by Reuters, scaling back a business it once touted as a major growth driver. The talks are ongoing and plans could change, said two sources familiar with the matter, who declined to be named as they are not permitted to speak to the media. It is not clear whether SoftBank will retain a stake in the business United Robotics declined to comment. SoftBank has said it remains committed to the Pepper business.
