T-HR3: Toyota's third generation humanoid robot

It is designed to be a remote control robot; it shows admirable moves in terms of control, balance—think of a ballet dancer skilled in martial arts, and warming up with a set of arm waves, leg extensions, and grasping objects. The robot was designed and developed by Toyota's Partner Robot Division.

The video showing the robot reveals impressive moves—grasping balls, standing on one foot, extending the leg out as in a push and kick move. More specifically, the trials confirmed that the T-HR3 was capable of performing tasks that require force: holding a ball with both hands, grasping blocks and stacking them up into a pile, and shaking hands with a human, "at levels comparable to those of a wired connection."

Toyota Motor Corporation had this to say about T-HR3. "Toyota's latest robotics platform, designed and developed by Toyota's Partner Robot Division, will explore new technologies for safely managing physical interactions between robots and their surroundings, as well as a new remote maneuvering system that mirrors user movements to the robot."
