Toyota’s 2020 Olympics robots will include a javelin-carrying cart
The automotive giant
has unveiled its robot lineup for the summer games, and one of the biggest attention-getters is the Field Support Robot.
The autonomous machine
looks like a very tiny version of the e-Palette, and will carry javelins, shot puts and other items from throwing events.
It won’t actually fetch the items — that’s still up to humans — but it will help reduce the number of staff on the field.
However, there will be one more Olympics-specific bot.
Toyota is also “considering” a way to enhance the games for Japanese kids through the mascot machines.
