Toyota is positioning itself as a global robotics company, committing about $6.4 billion a year to humanoid robots and factory automation.

**Why it matters:** A major automaker putting multi-billion annual budgets behind humanoids signals that physical AI is moving from demos to industrial capex.

**Topics:** robotics, products
