Toyota Shows Off Mascots Robots and Tiny Autonomous Car for Tokyo Olympics

Japan is yearning to use next year’s Tokyo Olympic and Paralympic to display its advanced technology, with Toyota, for one, readying a range of robots that it hopes will impress international visitors as well as the event’s global audience.

The company this week unveiled the latest designs of seven robots for a range of roles that include entertainment and assistance for athletes and sports fans during the month-long sporting event.

In addition to the robots, it also has a Field Support Robot (FSR). It looks like the remote-controlled car in the events like a javelin. However, FSR uses autonomous technology to find its way around the field.
