Toyota Motor Corp. has unveiled an upgraded
version of its human-shaped T-HR3 robot. The
robot, which is controlled remotely by a person
wearing a headset and wiring on his or her arms
and hands, now has faster and smoother finger
movements because the controlling device is
lighter and easier to use.
Such a robot could, in the future, be used to
perform surgery in a distant place where a
doctor cannot travel. It also might allow people
to feel like they’re participating in events they
can’t actually attend.
In a recent demonstration in Tokyo, a person
wearing a headset and wiring made the robot
move in exactly the same way he was moving,
waving or making dance-like movements.
