New Toyota Waldo/Vehicles and Robots

While the 1960s flashback motif clearly indicates that somebody has slipped something "unusual" into the Toyota punchbowl, these new vehicles (or personal mobility devices, as Toyota is calling them), are undeniably cool. There are also some new robots to go with the walking and rolling vehicles. I find myself wondering if this is going to tie into Toyota's visual vehicle guidance research.

UPDATE: Girlontheleft notes that the rolling mobility device looks strangely like this device, an anime assistant chair for the elderly (which of course runs amok and destroys tokyo). Sci-fi always seems to precede invention.

Gizmodo has a more complete write-up, as well as some more images.
There is also a ton more information at the Aichi Expo site, including the robots section.
