Toyota does not provide profit projections on a group basis, but it jacked up parent-only profit and sales forecasts for the full year despite an expected blow from a weaker dollar in the latter half.
Toyota is by far the most profitable car maker in the world and it continues to expand sales in all main markets -- the United States, Japan, Europe and Asia -- with a fast-growing model lineup and a reputation for building top-quality vehicles.
Toyota now expects the dollar to average 112 yen this year instead of the 115 yen it assumed before -- presenting a hefty blow considering that every one-yen fall in the currency is estimated to shave 20 to 25 billion yen from its operating profit.
Toyota wants its partner robots to have human characteristics, such as being agile, warm and kind and also intelligent enough to skillfully operate a variety of devices in the areas of personal assistance, care for the elderly, manufacturing, and mobility.
This initial announcement of Toyota’s development of partner robots will be followed by an exhibition of the results as part of the entertainment lineup for the ToyotaGroup Pavilion at the Expo 2005, Aichi, Japan, starting in March of the same year.
Toyota plans to continue focusing the energy of the ToyotaGroup to further utilize their wealth of technical experience in automotive development and production to expand the usefulness of these robots while broadening their functions and areas of application.
