Honda Research Institute
Science without innovation neglects opportunities. Innovation without science remains shallow and superficial.
Innovation through Science is part of the HRI philosophy. It keeps us focused on our role in Honda and in the society at large.
In 2003, when the Honda Research Institutes were founded in Japan, in the United States and in Europe, our central focus was research into Computational Intelligence, Optimization and Robotics. More than a decade later Artificial Intelligence is seen as the next big tech thing. We couldn’t agree more.
Intelligent systems will shape our future in many ways, ranging from autonomous and accident-free driving to personal robots and from smart design and manufacturing to the efficient use of resources. We envision intelligent systems to work among us, for us and with us. This is why we call it Cooperative Intelligence.
The ideas and concepts our researchers introduce on the next pages are the basis for achieving Cooperative Intelligence.
