Toyota has announced it intends to develop a full line of humanoid
robots to serve as personal assistants. It's an exciting announcement
from a company that has the financial and political will to actually
carry it out. Japan leads the world in robotics, and while the U.S.
focuses on military robots (terminator, anyone?), Japan is working to
actually improve our quality of life through helper robots. In a few
years, personal assistant robots will be able to fetch items (and
remember where you put them), guard your house, clean up the clutter in
your home, engage in basic conversations, play music, and -- someday --
do your laundry. These are the kinds of things that really matter in
terms of quality of life. Who wouldn't want a live-in helper who could
handle basic chores? Humanoid robots from Toyota offer precisely that
promise. Yes, it's all many years away, but today we finally have
working robots like Roomba and Aibo. There are more than 150,000 Aibo
robots in homes around the world right now, and Sony is just getting
started. When you consider the combined efforts of Toyota, Sony and
Honda, it's exciting to realize that helpful household robots are truly
on the way. I predict the humanoid robotics industry will someday
dwarf the automobile industry and the software industry. This will be
the largest single industry on the planet, with hundreds of billions of
dollars to be made by the right companies. Too bad the U.S. government
can't see this coming and try to support our own fledgling robotics
research. Today, the U.S. is at least a decade behind Japan, and I don't
see any changes coming. Kudos to Japan for investing in technology that
really means something.
