Japan launches 'ambulance' for robots
Japanese company GMO Internet Group has created a special van for humanoid robots — almost a real ambulance, except the patients here are machines.
The van carries engineers, tools, spare parts, and even a backup robot. If repairs on site are impossible, the broken humanoid is taken away, and a backup robot immediately replaces it.
The company believes that with the spread of humanoids, such an 'ambulance' will become a necessity. Japan plans to deploy about 10 million robots by 2040 — in manufacturing, healthcare, and services.
