Toyota will provide the 2020 Olympic games innovations

The objective of Toyota is to implement the principle of "Mobility for all". In this case, refers not only to the ordinary athletes, staff and guests, but, say, people with disabilities.

Toyota intends to use the summer Olympics 2020 in Tokyo (and Paralympics) as a platform to demonstrate the "future mobility". Of course, transport solutions from Toyota and its partners will amount to only a fraction of the extensive infrastructure for Game. But it is entertaining and gives some idea of the development of transport in the years ahead. We briefly mentioned this when talking about Autonomous shuttles Toyota e-Palette. In fact, the various machines and robots there will be much greater.

Length, width, height of the Shuttle Toyota APM is 3.9; 1.6 and 2.0 m, a turning radius of just 5.0 m. the power Reserve on a single charge — 100 miles top Speed — 19 km/h.

So, in July, the company introduced another device from the Olympic family — Shuttle Toyota APM (Accessible People Mover). This low-speed electric transport "last mile" accessibility for people with disabilities. Generally, it is not just for people in wheelchairs, but just for the elderly, families with young children, pregnant women. The device will be multiple versions, including those fitted for transportation of a stretcher (for example, injured athletes). The Olympics will run 200 shuttles — how in the Olympic village and sports objects.

In a promotional video Toyota put all that collected: Autonomous electric shuttles and APM Concept-i experienced the drone Lexus, KEB JPN Taxi, three-wheeled scooter and a city car Concept-i Ride, robot HSR (Human Support Robot) and DSR (Delivery Support Robot), Android T-HR3 and "avatar" T-TR1 for remote communication, vodorodnoi Mirai, forklifts on fuel cells and the same bus Toyota Sora.

Officials of the Olympics will drive on hydrogen sedan Toyota Mirai. Staff and security personnel will drive electric tricycles Toyota i-Road. In the Olympic village and surrounding area athletes, coaches and judges to be transported between buildings will be the above mentioned standalone modules e-Palette. In the heart of Tokyo guests of the Olympics will be able to use prirodoslovni the JPN Taxi cabs, again from Toyota.

A collective portrait of Toyota's robots: T-TR1, T-HR3 (top row), HSR and DSR, FSR/Field Support Robot (bottom row). In the center — robotic mascots Meritava and Somati (Miraitowa/Someity, blue and pink, respectively). Their growth — forty centimeters, they are able to identify the people to Express emotions through the eyes and shake hands.

In addition, various unmanned vehicles Toyota (with the fourth level of autonomy) will make a demonstration trip to several selected areas of Tokyo, and in pedestrian zones should be used electric scooters Toyota. Hydrogen-powered forklifts will be involved in providing Games. In addition, toyotovskie same robot volunteers robot fans (system of remote presence in the stadium), robot mascots and robot assistants of judges will add the Olympics technological flavor.
