Toyota Human Support Robot (HSR)
Toyota HSR is a mobile robot platform demonstrably offered to research institutions and businesses.
Toyota’s Human Support Robot is a mobile research platform with an arm for handling objects. Toyota offered the 2015 version on loan to universities, research facilities and businesses. In 2021 the manufacturer described actual organisational use in its development community; in 2025 it presented further work on robot models and teleoperation. Institutional provision and research use are therefore documented. Physical figures below apply only to the 2015 prototype configuration. Research projects require their own software and facilitation. This profile confirms no current purchase offer, care performance or general independent deployment capability.
