Tokyo — Toyota Motor Corp. has unveiled an upgraded version of its human-shaped T-HR3 robot.
Such a robot could one day be used to perform surgery in a distant place where a doctor cannot travel.
Toyota Motor Corp.'s T-HR3 robot is designed to mirror physical actions performed by a remote human operator.
Smaller robots that look like the mascots for the 2020 Tokyo Olympics and Paralympics were controlled in the same way.
Moridaira said human-shaped robots can be controlled intuitively because all the person operating it has to do is move naturally.
