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.

Did someone say 'We, Robot'? Toyota and Hyundai are picking up Tesla's tossed gauntlet when it comes to AI-empowered humanoid robots. Hyundai's Boston Dynamics and the Toyota Research Institute will join forces to develop smart bots they envision will one day work side-by-side with assembly line workers at their Kia and Lexus factories. This 'Team of Rivals' pairs TRI's know-how in a generative AI teaching robots new skills with Boston Dynamics' expertise in mobile robotics, such as its Atlas humanoid bot. The collaboration will bring together a robotics brain trust of MIT grads and DARPA veterans, Toyota Chief Scientist Gill Pratt said in an interview. Aaron Saunders, Boston Dynamics’ chief technology officer, told me the partnership is "going to set the stage to deliver on the promise that a lot of people are making right now in bringing humanoid robots out to the world at scale."
