What happened
Toyota Motor Corp. unveiled its third-generation humanoid robot, T-HR3, on Nov. 20, 2017. The robot uses a remote operation system and torque servo modules to enable safe, smooth operation.

Why it matters
Toyota’s T-HR3 remotely reproduces an operator’s hand and foot movements in the robot, measures force at each joint and returns that information to the operator. The company says it will use the robot for research into safe operation in situations involving contact with people and objects. It will be exhibited at the International Robot Exhibition 2017 at Tokyo Big Sight.
