The system is equipped with motion and force sensors in the feet, so the operator's movement translates directly to the robot's joints for synchronized movement between a human and the T-HR3. The operator also wears a head-mount display that is connected to the robot's built-in cameras, so the user can see whatever the robot sees, in 3D and realtime.
The robot was created by Toyota's Partner Robot Family, a division with a goal to "evolve the technology of industrial robots such that they can be applied to the advanced technology of automobiles, IT and other areas." The T-HR3 is considered a third-generation humanoid. Previous generations played instruments to test the precise positioning of joints and pre-programmed movements. Now, the group's latest humanoid is a platform meant to safely assist humans with mobility challenges.
It lacks AI, but keeping a human in the loop is useful for many situations where it's not safe or practical for a person to walk around. In space exploration, for example, an operator could sit in NASA's research facility while "walking" around Mars. It could also be used for military and disaster relief, but Toyota's focus appears to be using robots as medical and home assistants.
We didn't film the actual presentation but luckily we found a video on Youtube showing how it works.

It is interesting to read your blog post and I am going to share it with my friends.aybabg
ReplyDeleteOff course, T-HR3 robots of Toyota are making difference in technology and by doing the work up to the mark. These sorts of australian writings services review robots are making humans life easier and tension free by doing hard physical actions.
