Toyota Plans to Deploy 400,000 Robots by 2028 with a 1 Trillion Yen Annual Investment Starting in 2028
丰田在用机器人给 1.8 万个老师傅做备份
Toyota is not currently a robotics company but plans to become one by investing 1 trillion yen annually from 2028 to deploy 400,000 robots on its production lines. The strategy focuses on converting the skills of its 18,000 experienced workers into data assets through AI training, aiming to replicate processes globally rather than just manufacturing robot bodies. This approach addresses a projected shortage of skilled labor in Japan's manufacturing sector by treating human expertise as a mineable resource.
The report details a specific engineering methodology where Toyota uses human demonstration data (1500 trials over two weeks) to train a Large Behavior Model (LBM) for physical skills, providing a concrete mechanism for converting manual labor into reproducible robot policies.
