Members of the Toyota Engineering Society (TES) have a secret weapon up their sleeve, and its name is PIXI. This soccer robot can kick balls at speeds of up to 85 km/h and it’s actually the world’s first hydrogen-powered autonomous soccer robot, designed to shoot penalty shots.
Believe it or not, TES is not actually a department within Toyota, but rather a team of volunteers. Headed by Vice President Nakajima, TES counts at least 28,000 Toyota employees as members, with full-time members being allocated development funds as well as research facilities by the company. What do they do? Their main job is to basically run projects aimed at improving technology, skills, and knowledge.
