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.

Meet Michael Thompson, a Senior Research Engineer in the Human Interactive Driving division at TRI! His team, Extreme Performance Intelligent Control (team EPIC), creates new control algorithms for autonomously driving high-performance vehicles like TRI's autonomous drifting Supra. Michael served as one of the safety drivers in the TRI x Stanford autonomous tandem drift project, sitting behind the wheel during the tests to take control at a moment's notice! He helps the team implement and test new research while also adding his ideas for new control algorithms in software between test sessions.

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
