Toyota's '400,000 humanoid robots' is a plant-upgrade plan from 2028 — and its humanoid rolls on wheels
The Toyota group plans to introduce 400,000 in-house robots at plants worldwide from 2028 or later — 150,000 at Toyota's own plants and 250,000 at group companies — as part of roughly ¥1 trillion a year of factory upgrades. The humanoid it has shown, ELEY, is a 50 kg wheeled machine with two-fingered hands. Reports disagree on whether the 400,000 are all humanoids.
