Toyota announced today a tour guide robot (with a cool hair-do) that will show visitors around its exhibition hall in Toyota City. There's not much detail about the robot named Robina, but the press release says the wheeled robot can communicate with visitors verbally and using gestures. It can also recognize the visitors' nametags and engage in coversation with them as well as sign autographs with its jointed fingers (which, ahem, we said was coming). Finally it's capable of autonomous navigation. Toyota hopes to monitor the robot and apply what it learns to developing future robots.
While robots like these are a show of a company's technological prowess, Toyota is developing the robots to assist with domestic chores, nursing and medical care, manufacturing and personal transport.

Fun, but scary at the same
Fun, but scary at the same time. But my thing is now, handicapped people who can't get around well, but who learn fast and very helpful could easily be 'embodied' into one of these with a camera and microphone and be sitting comfortably in another office somewhere giving a tour, seeing what the bot and the guest sees all through video.
This is AWESOME!! The bot can navigate, but the person controlling it can actually take over and turn, say, to look at the visitor and engage conversation.
This is just plain out GREAT!! Go Toyota!

Go Toyota! They are
Go Toyota! They are innovating future technologies while the US sits on our lazy asses and watches American Idol. I can see the headlines in 20 years:
"US robot makers struggle to maintain profitability as Honda and Toyota are years ahead in technology. GM did recently sign a new deal on battert suppliers for its vaporware robot: Chevy Lightning Bolt" Sound familiar?
Wow! What great technology!
