Toyota is betting $6.4 billion a year on humanoid robots and factory automation

AI summary Toyota plans to roll out 400,000 robots, backed by about $6.4 billion in yearly spending on humanoid machines and factory automation.

The robots will go first into Toyota's own plants, while investors recall earlier letdowns with solid-state batteries and hydrogen cars.
