Toyota and Sony Working Together on Robotics
Japan's two biggest technology names - Toyota Motor Corp and Sony Corp have decided to collaborate in robotics.
Sony does not plan to give up its technology on Albo or Qrio but key patents will be sold to Toyota which plans to apply them to a next-generation 'transporter'…. something along the lines of the i-swing perhaps…a kind of motorized baby car for
adults.
Sony has sent seven researchers to work in Toyota's partner robot research
unit to help relay the technology to Toyota.
Toyota has a robot guide - TPR-Robina that can dodge obstacles, sign its name, have simple conversations in Japanese and deliver preprogrammed messages in an electronic voice.
Imagine what two of Japan's best can come up with when they work together
A barking baby seat that an adult can ride in.
