Description	We present our software for the Pepper robot that is suitable for human-robot interaction in the area of edutainment. The combination of education and entertainment is achieved by modifying a state-of-the-art conversational artificial intelligence system, developing several interactive quiz applications for the robot and implementing these into Pepper, a humanoid robot. In the paper, we describe the technical details of the chatbot implementation and also the description of the software for the edutainment.
