TOKYO - Tokyo Olympic organisers on Friday rolled out a pair of chatty robots they will put to work to assist wheelchair users at the 2020 Games as they continue to plug Japan's cutting-edge technology.
In reality, the DSR"deli-bot" - with its built-in drinks tray - rather more closely resembles a moving dustbin with blinking lights, but Toyota insisted the technology would ensure a more comfortable Games experience for wheelchair users. SCIENCE FICTION "We want to go beyond the 1964 Tokyo Olympics in terms of legacy," said Mr Hideyo Hirata, deputy executive director of technology services for the 2020 Games."But in Japan, people actually want to know how robots can help with and be part of our daily lives."
