Toyota’s Newest Robot Perfectly Mimics Human Movements

T-HR3 can strike an infinite number of poses, with the aid of a person

The time when humanoid robots join society is edging closer to reality with Toyota’s latest robotics platform. The T-HR3 developed by Toyota’s Partner Robot Division explores how a robot can safely interact with its physical surroundings. Rather than focus on self-aware abilities, the T-HR3 is essentially controlled by a human puppeteer. But what it lacks in intelligence, is more than made up for by the T-HR3’s range and finesse of motion.

Getting the 29 body parts to move is done through the Master Maneuvering System, a combination mechanical and VR rig. A human operator can control arm and leg movements by strapping themselves to articulating control devices. A VR headset allows the operator to see from the robot’s perspective.

The T-HR3 has obvious uses in dangerous situations where humans could risk injury like construction sites, disaster areas and emergency situations like firefighting. But Toyota also sees applications in more technically demanding tasks like bio-tech facilities or in outer space. It also isn’t a stretch to see the T-HR3 replacing racing drivers in cars while they could control them remotely from potentially anywhere in the world.
