Toyota reportedly plans to deploy 400,000 robots under a $6.4 billion-a-year automation push

According to a post on X by @Humanoidguide, Toyota reportedly plans to deploy 400,000 robots through a $6.4 billion annual factory-automation plan. The Eley humanoid and robot learning models are described as central to that plan. The same post also says the open-source Asimov 1 humanoid turned one and is shipping to builders in more than 20 countries, and that RoboParty open-sourced its full ROBOTO ORIGIN humanoid, including CAD and PCB designs.

Toyota reportedly plans to deploy 400,000 robots through a $6.4 billion annual factory-automation plan, with its Eley humanoid and robot learning models central to it. Separately, the open-source Asimov 1 humanoid turned one and is shipping to builders in more than 20 countries, and RoboParty open-sourced its full...

If the Toyota plan proceeds as described, it would be a large-scale push into robots on factory floors, which could shape how manufacturers and robotics suppliers plan their investments. Builders may find the open-source Asimov 1 and ROBOTO ORIGIN designs useful for prototyping. The main thing to watch is whether Toyota confirms the plan and shares details on timing and deployment.
