The robots can carry food and other goods, guide viewers to their seats and provide event information. "In terms of service, we will be offering stress-free entry and viewing and the robot can also carry bags and other luggage items for the customers."There will be 16 HSR robots at Tokyo 2020 venues and Toyota hope to have similar products available for general sale by the early 2030s.
People are strapped into the Power Assist Suits, which enable users to repetitively lift and carry objects without putting a strain on their back.Tokyo 2020 organisers have long maintained next year’s summer showpiece will be the most innovative ever and more robots are expected to be announced later.
