Tokyo: Toyota Motor Corp Thursday unveiled two new robots that can assist humans in transport, domestic duties and care taking. The first robot is envisaged to transport humans and objects at a speed of 6 km per hour for a distance of 20 km with one battery charge. The other, a two-legged violin-playing robot, has 17 movable joints that provide it capability to conduct domestic duties and assist in nursing or medical care. Japan's top automaker plans to put the "mobility robot" on trial at its facilities late 2008, and commercially introduce both into the market by the early 2010s, the company said in a statement.
