GMO Internet Group's AI and robotics division has unveiled a dedicated "Humanoid Ambulance" service that it says will roll out this month in Japan. The vehicle will send a trained engineer to service malfunctioning robots sold by GMO; when an on-site repair is not possible, the service will transport the robot to a repair facility and provide a replacement unit. GMO supplies robots from multiple manufacturers, including China's Unitree, and facilitates related services.
