The Toyota Research Institute is a research and scientific development subsidiary of Toyota Motor Corporation. It is focused on developing technologies in artificial intelligence (AI), vehicular automation, materials science, and robotics.[1]
History
[edit]Established by Toyota in 2016, Toyota Research Institute was launched with a $1 billion investment over five years to focus on artificial intelligence and robotics technologies research.[2] The company began operations with Gill Pratt, a roboticist and former official at the Defense Advanced Projects Research Agency (DARPA), as its CEO.[2] Its headquarters is in Los Altos, California, with additional offices in Cambridge, Massachusetts, and formerly in Ann Arbor, Michigan.[3]
Akio Toyoda, then President of Toyota, described Toyota Research Institute's launch: "As technology continues to progress, so does our ability to improve products. At Toyota, we do not pursue innovation simply because we can; we pursue it because we should. It is our responsibility to make life better for our customers and society as a whole."[4]
In 2018, Toyota established Toyota Research Institute – Advanced Development (TRI–AD), an offshoot of Toyota Research Institute in Tokyo, as a joint venture with Denso and Aisin to unify and strengthen Toyota's software for automated driving and safety.[5] In January 2021, TRI–AD expanded and separately established Woven Planet Holdings, Inc. (now, Woven by Toyota, Inc.).[6][7]
