Japan’s automotive giant Toyota plans to deploy 400,000 new robots across its global factories to increase efficiency. According to Nikkei, the company will allocate approximately $7 billion for this technological transformation.
The next-generation robots will be introduced in stages to replace outdated equipment on production lines. The systems are also expected to include humanoid robot technologies developed by Toyota. The company plans to use robots to reduce physical workloads, accelerate production processes and minimize errors.
Humanoid robots will not only perform assembly tasks. They are also expected to learn various operations by observing the movements of experienced workers. The data collected will be used to develop future production standards and accelerate the onboarding process for new employees.
Toyota’s move highlights the accelerating automation trend in the automotive industry. Companies such as BMW and Mercedes-Benz are also investing in expanding the use of humanoid robots at their production facilities. Toyota aims to reduce production costs and strengthen its global competitiveness through these new technologies.
