Toyota Motor was founded in 1937 in Toyota City and is one of the world's largest automotive corporations. In the field of robotics, Toyota conducts active research stemming from the corporation's focus on mobility, care, and production. Robotics is not an independent core business, but a strategic research field.
The most well-known research robot is the T-HR3, a teleoperated humanoid that mirrors the operator's movements in real time. In 2018, Toyota and NTT DOCOMO successfully achieved remote control of the T-HR3 via 5G over a distance of ten kilometers. Additionally, Toyota is developing the Human Support Robot (HSR), which is intended to assist elderly or disabled people with everyday tasks.
Toyota's robotics projects are conducted in the context of Japan's aging society and the shortage of skilled workers in care. The T-HR3 is not a commercial product but a research platform that demonstrates Toyota's competencies in precision mechanics and control engineering. In the humanoid competition, Toyota plays an observer role, not a frontrunner position.
