<About Honda Research Institute (HRI)>
HRI was established in Japan, the United States, and Europe in 2003 as an organization for the Honda Group to take on new challenges beyond automotive technology.

We aim not only to improve convenience, but also to develop intelligent systems that interact with people by giving them satisfaction and joy. The focus is on artificial intelligence (artificial intelligence).
In order to realize "artificial intelligence that is close to people," we are taking a multifaceted approach from not only hardware and software engineering, but also brain science, systems science, psychology, social ethics, etc.
In particular, research on Intelligent Communication (conveying information and thinking using various information such as natural language and body language) and Social Interaction (behavior for building and maintaining relationships between people) I put a lot of emphasis on it.
