TOKYO - Compared to a virt\lOSO, its rendition was a trifle stilted and, well, robotic. But Toyota's new robot plays a pretty solid "Pomp and Cir­ cumstance" on the violin. The 5-foot-tall, all-white robot, shown Thursday, used its mechanical fingers to press the strings correctly and bowed with its other arm, coordinating the movements well. Toyota Motor Corp. has already shown robots that roll around to work as guides and have tmgers dexterous enough to play the trumpet. Toyota President Katsuaki Watanabe said robotics will be a core business for the company in coming years. Toyota will test out its robots at hospitals, Toyota-related facilities and other places starting next ye_ar, he said. And the company hopes to put what it calls "partner robots" to real use by 2010, he said. "We want to create robots that are useful for people in everyday life," he told reporters at a Toyota show­ • room in Tokyo. Watanabe and other com­ pany officials said robotics was a natural extension of the automaker's use of robots in manufacturing, as well as the development of technology • for autos related to artificial intelligence, such as sensors and pre-crash safety systems. Watanabe presented a vision of the future in which wheelchair-like "mobility
