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.

TRI had the honor of supporting #Toyota at the #Olympics and #Paralympics Games in Paris! As the official worldwide mobility partner for the Games, Toyota provided a fleet of more than 3,000 electric mobility solutions for athletes, officials, volunteers, and spectators. These included 250 Accessible People Movers (an inclusive electric vehicle) and 700 electric last-mile vehicles as part of Toyota’s commitment to becoming a mobility company that provides sustainable mobile solutions for all. Gill Pratt, Chief Scientist for Toyota Motor Corporation and TRI CEO, along with Avinash Balachandran, VP of TRI's Human Interactive Driving Division, joined in showcasing Toyota's multi-path strategy, inclusive mobility, and AI innovations on the global stage!

I had the pleasure of participating in #Toyota's support of the #Paralympic Games in Paris a few weeks ago. I spoke to journalists across Europe about our approach to #AI and how we can rely on one of Toyota's core tenets, Jidoka or Human-centered Automation, to guide our development. Using this philosophy we are building AI that amplifies people, allowing them to go beyond their limits. This idea of going beyond limits was at full display at the Paralympics events. It was truly amazing to see the level of skill and dedication from the athletes and I'm proud to work at a company that puts supporting athletes at the heart of its support for the Games. "You have no limits, so let us stop imposing limits on you. That is the Paralympics revolution" ~ Tony Estanguet, President of the Paris 2024 Organizing Committee #startyourimpossible #humancentered Toyota Research Institute

The four winning proposals for TRI’s Synthesis Advanced Research Challenge (SARC) are in! SARC is a multiyear, multimillion-dollar initiative to find better tools for predictive synthesis and accelerate the process of discovering new materials. We received a number of great applications and are excited to announce the winners, who will progress into phase one to develop new synthesis theories. The winners are: Aditi Krishnapriyan and Bingqing Cheng from the University of California, Berkeley Tonio Buonassisi from MIT Department of Mechanical Engineering (MechE) & Research Laboratory of Electronics at MIT Daniel Schwalbe-Koda from UCLA Henry Samueli School of Engineering and Applied Science Rachel Kurchin and Evan Spotte-Smith from Carnegie Mellon University Thank you to everyone who applied to our Synthesis Challenge, and congratulations to our winners who are going into phase one! Stay tuned for more updates on their work and learn more about SARC here: https://lnkd.in/gmvCzEzm

Students from the Stanford CS LINXS Summer Research Program toured TRI's HQ and met with researchers to gain insights into their work and backgrounds for various careers in STEM. TRI is proud to continue supporting this program, which offers an immersive academic research and graduate school preparation experience for undergraduate students currently attending Historically Black Colleges and Universities and Hispanic-serving institutions.

Last month, TRI hosted visits from the TOMODACHI Initiative and the Techqueria non-profit to our HQ in Los Altos, CA! The visitors toured our offices, got hands-on technology demos, and met researchers across our different divisions. Our teams were delighted by the enthusiasm and excitement, and we hope that these experiences will inspire a new generation of professionals in the #STEM field!

Researchers at the University of Washington Information School are collaborating with TRI to create more accessible touchscreen dashboard displays that could be adaptable to drivers and lower the risks of distracted driving. “We are especially excited to work with the UW team as their expertise in adaptive user interfaces is a natural complement to our work in behavioral modeling, driving simulation, and interaction.”- Scott Carter, Senior Staff Research Scientist at TRI. Carter leads the project from the TRI side, working with a #UW team that includes iSchool Professor Jacob O. Wobbrock and Professor James Fogarty of the Paul G. Allen School of Computer Science & Engineering. The teams plan to present this work at MobileHCI 2024 in Melbourne, Australia, later this year.
