ai generated text

Japanese Railways has introduced a new humanoid robot designed for maintenance tasks. The robot, mounted on a truck that can drive on rails, features enormous arms with a vertical reach of 12 meters (40ft) and can lift objects weighing up to 40kg (88lb). According to West Japan Railway, the robot was designed for tasks such as painting and gardening, and will be used for maintenance work on their network starting this month. The machine's design has been described as resembling a malevolent robot from 1980s sci-fi, with a crude head and coke-bottle eyes.
