    Practical demonstrations of Toyota's Human Support Robot, Toyota’s answer to the ever-increasing demand for long-term elderly care in societies like Japan. With its highly maneuverable, compact, and lightweight cylindrical body and folding arm, the HSR can pick objects up off the floor, retrieve objects from shelves, and perform a variety of other tasks.

    In caring for your loved ones, artificial intelligence is not yet a substitute for human attentiveness. In addition to local, on-site operation, the HSR can be operated remotely by family and friends, with the operator’s face and voice being relayed in real-time, allowing for real, human interaction while also being able to help with daily tasks.

    Toyota HSR interview

    Published on Jan 21, 2016

    Toyota has been working to develop commercially viable “partner robot” by building on its expertise in the field of industrial robotics and applying cutting-edge technology from areas such as the automotive industry and IT.
    The Human Support Robot (HSR) is being developed to assist people in their everyday activities. In the future, the HSR will coexist with family members in the home, providing support to improve living conditions and the overall quality of life.
    Philip: Okay guys! This is Philip English again. We are here with Toyota. Can you introduce yourself?
    Fuminori: My name is Fuminori Saito. I am managing the project.
    Philip: And is this a research project?
    Fuminori: Yes. Currently, we provide this robot to the research and not for sale right now.
    Philip: So at the moment, it is just a research project and eventually it will going to be a medical tool? So it’s going to be a medical product?
    Fuminori: Yeah! This robot is supposed to support the disabled people or people who can not move on their own.
    Philip: So if someone is in their hospital bed, and they need food to come to them, then this robot will bring them food?
    Fuminori: Yeah! Maybe. Maybe we can do that in the future.
    Philip: So can he pick up something from the floor?
    Fuminori: Yeah.
    Philip: How high can he go?
    Fuminori: About 130 cm it can reach.
    Philip: So if people are supposed in a wheelchairs or in beds and that’s the maximum height.
    Fuminori: Yeah.
    Philip: Okay. So how many years do you think it will be in development until you sell it?
    Fuminori: When we will sell this robot?
    Philip: Yeah.
    Fuminori: So, we are not decided yet. This robot, the function of this robot is so limited right now. This robot is not ready yet for everybody right now. It has no large market right now. Maybe we need more functions, we need to develop more functions.
    Philip: What is the maximum weight the robot can pick up? Like the maximum kilos or weight the robot can lift?
    Fuminori: It’s 1.2 Kilogram right now.
    Philip: So for the weight, it’s 1.2 kilos. Is it going to be a heavier weight in the future? or is it always going to be 1.2 Kilos?

    Human Support Robot HSR

    Published on Nov 30, 2018

    The Human Support Robot (HSR) is Toyota's answer to the ever-increasing demand for long-term elderly care in societies like Japan. With its highly maneuverable, compact, and lightweight cylindrical body and folding arm, the HSR can pick objects up off the floor, retrieve objects from shelves, and perform a variety of other tasks.

    With the goal of assisting independent home living for the elderly and disabled, Toyota is teaming up with a number of research institutes to found the HSR Developers' Community. This institute will put forth a cooperative effort to hasten the development and early practical adoption of the HSR.

    In caring for your loved ones, artificial intelligence is not yet a substitute for human attentiveness. In addition to local, on-site operation, the HSR can be operated remotely by family and friends, with the operator's face and voice being relayed in real-time, allowing for real, human interaction while also being able to help with daily tasks. Since it was first announced in 2012, the HSR has undergone a number of improvements based on feedback from patients and healthcare workers.

    Toyota will loan HSRs to partner organizations in Japan (primarily universities, research facilities, and businesses), who will then share their software development progress and newly gained knowhow throughout the community. Toyota will also aid research institutes in HSR testing by helping to find appropriate facilities for the tests along with other supportive efforts.

    Initially, starting in September, the HSR Developers' Community will consist of Toyota and several other institutions already testing the HSR. The community hopes to increase membership by around 10 groups from April 2016 onward, with applications to join the first round of HSR Developers' Community recruitment being accepted from today. Research projects are expected to last for around two years, with the possibility of extension (pending mutual agreement).
