Improving the quality of human life through advances in energy and materials research, robotics, and AI.
About us
At Toyota Research Institute (TRI), we’re working to build a future where everyone has the freedom to move, engage, and explore with a focus on reducing vehicle collisions, injuries, and fatalities. Join us in our mission to improve the quality of human life through advances in artificial intelligence, automated driving, robotics, and materials science. We’re dedicated to building a world of “mobility for all” where everyone, regardless of age or ability, can live in harmony with technology to enjoy a better life. Through innovations in AI, we’ll… -Develop vehicles incapable of causing a crash, regardless of the actions of the driver. -Develop technology for vehicles and robots to help people enjoy new levels of independence, access, and mobility. -Bring advanced mobility technology to market faster. - Discover new materials that will make batteries and hydrogen fuel cells smaller, lighter, less expensive and more powerful. Our work is guided by a dedication to safety – in how we research, develop, and validate the performance of vehicle technology to benefit society. As a subsidiary of Toyota, TRI is fueled by a diverse and inclusive community of people who carry invaluable leadership, experience, and ideas from industry-leading companies. Over half of our technical team carries PhD degrees. We’re continually searching for the world’s best talent ‒ people who are ready to define the new world of mobility with us! We strive to build a company that helps our people thrive, achieve work-life balance, and bring their best selves to work. At TRI, you will have the opportunity to enjoy the best of both worlds ‒ a fun start-up environment with brilliant people who enjoy solving tough problems and the financial backing to successfully achieve our goals. Come work with TRI if you’re interested in transforming mobility through designing safer cars, enabling the elderly to age in place, or designing alternative fuel sources. Start your impossible with us.

Stanford University School of Engineering researchers, in collaboration with the Toyota Research Institute, have achieved the world’s first fully autonomous tandem drift, with the goal of advancing the potential of AI to improve safety. Both cars, lead and chase, are driverless. Using only AI, the lead must plan and execute its line without human input. The chase car must follow suit and catch up quickly afterward. “It’s a phenomenal sport. Professional drifters are the best at what they do. They’re operating at the absolute maximum of what the tire-road interface will allow. We wanted to see if we could match that skill – using steering, throttle, and brakes to master friction and gravity to achieve these graceful moves. You can’t pre-program that. It’s a real test of what AI can do.” -Chris Gerdes, professor emeritus of mechanical engineering 🗞️: https://lnkd.in/gJfu3r2m 📸: Toyota Research Institute

How did researchers manage to get two Supras to perform autonomous tandem drifting, and why did they study this in the first place? While we have previously demonstrated single-car autonomous drifting, tandem drifting presents the most challenging motion planning and vehicle control problem. The need to balance multiple conflicting objectives, such as avoiding collisions, staying on the road, and reacting to other vehicles in real time, makes it a valuable #AV problem to study and learn from to improve future safety technologies. Find out how TRI and Stanford University School of Engineering researchers accomplish this using #AI in our latest Medium blog: https://lnkd.in/gw3PA8Pz

“What we’re really looking at here is how to control the car at the extremes of performance, when the tires are sliding, the kind of condition you would encounter when you're driving on snow or ice.” – Avinash Balachandran, VP of TRI's Human Interactive Driving division. Will Knight, Senior Writer at WIRED, spoke with Avinash and Chris Gerdes, Professor of Mechanical Engineering at Stanford University School of Engineering, on the technology and goals behind the tandem drift research.
