Toyota Research Institute
At Toyota Research Institute (TRI), we’re on a mission to improve the quality of human life. We’re developing new tools and capabilities to amplify the human experience. To lead this multifaceted shift in mobility, we’ve built an outstanding team in human-centered AI, energy and materials, machine learning, and robotics.
Within TRI, the Future Product Innovation team is organized around two objectives:(1). Develop new methods for capturing and predicting the people’s preferences, and (2). Integrate these models into decision-makers processes to increase individual and organizational creativity. We leverage advances in natural language processing, physiological sensing, causal inference and representation learning to support human decision-making. In particular, we are exploring how these models combine with generative AI models (e.g., Stable Diffusion) to facilitate creative work in conceptual design.
