Robots are coming to the 2020 Tokyo Olympics

It doesn’t come as a surprise that there are going to be robots present at the 2020 summer Olympics happening in Japan. The Tokyo Olympics’ Organizing Committee recently launched a Tokyo 2020 Robot Project, which will have these automatons assisting both the spectators and the crew behind the scenes. There will be robots like the one from Toyota (pictured above) that can help wheelchair-bound guests to their seats, deliver their food, and even provide information. Panasonic, on the other hand, will be providing Power Assist Suit exoskeletons for the works to help the carry everything from food, trash, to heavy cargo with ease.

According to the organizers, there will be more robots coming and these will be announced at a later date. Japan is eager to show off its capabilities in the segment, with the aim to demonstrate the “practical, real-life deployment” of the technology.
