Toyota Motor will deploy approximately 40,000 humanoid robots across its global factories to work alongside employees as part of a modernization effort launching in 2028, the Nikkei newspaper reported.

According to the paper, the annual investment in plant upgrades will total one trillion yen (nearly $6.4 billion), integrating these devices into production processes to boost efficiency.
