In order to accelerate the development of such new AI, HRI-JP started the project and began joint research with the Department of Intelligence Science and Technology, Graduate School of Informatics, Kyoto University. Professor Takatsune Kumada, who specializes in psychoinformatics, will represent this project and Professor Hisashi Kashima, the department head, also will personally participate in this project, with a goal to establish a concept under which AI that collaborates with people will be broadly accepted and utilized in society.

Honda is envisioning a future society where mobility products and robots equipped with such AI are trusted just like family members and are useful as part of people's everyday lives. In order to continue providing people everywhere with the joy of expanding their life's potential, Honda will continue to strive to create more and more innovations.
