Toyota to sell Partner Robots

Toyota Motor has marked the 70th anniversary of its founding by announcing a long-term business plan that calls for the commercialization of its humanoid Partner Robots for jobs like housekeeping and nursing support.

The Toyota Global Vision 2020 plan sees robots as a core business for the leading automaker, which also plans to make hybrid technology available for its entire fleet of vehicles.

There were no details on the timing of the commercialization of the Partner Robots, which debuted as a robot orchestra at the 2005 Aichi Expo in Japan.
