News & Events - HRI-US

Global Network Honda Research Institutes is the new organizational format in which our three advanced research institutions of Honda in Japan, Europe, and the United States will grow together and combine our research excellence. This will further strengthen the impact and increase the speed of our scientific and innovation activities.

In this workshop, we aim to bring together researchers, students, and practitioners in robotics and other disciplines to discuss how to build curious robots and agents.

In the ‘In Nano’ section of their June issue, the American Chemical Society Nano Magazine highlights our research on discovering new growth mechanisms for 2D materials that allow lithography-free patterning of single atomic layer materials

In this workshop, scientists and students from Massachusetts Institute of Technology, University of Washington, University of California Santa Cruz, and University of Pennsylvania presented state-of-the-art results on developing intelligent systems with a human-like sense of curiosity.

HRI-US researchers will be presenting 5 papers at the Intelligent Vehicles Symposium (IV’19) held in Paris France from June 9-12, 2019. Topics include advances in traffic scene analysis and understanding from video and Lidar as well has human-centered design and intelligence in real and virtual environments.

HRI-US is excited to be a Gold sponsor of the Conference on Computer Vision and Pattern Recognition (CVPR), held on June 16-20, 2019, in Long Beach, California. CVPR is regarded as one of the most important conferences in its field and held annually in the United States, attracting more than 6000 participants.

HRI-US will be a sponsor of the International Conference on Robotics and Automation, which is held in Montreal, Canada from May 20-24. HRI-US researchers will be presenting seven papers. Topics include advances in traffic scene analysis and understanding from video and lidar, motion planning for automated vehicles and robots, multi-agent reinforcement learning, and robot planning for crowd navigation. 

Scientists from Honda Research Institute have collaborated with researchers at California Institute of Technology (Caltech) and NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory to develop a new battery chemistry that enables the use of materials with higher energy density and a more favorable environmental footprint than current battery technologies.

Mountain View, Calif., Oct. 25, 2018 – Seeking to develop a type of artificial intelligence that enables life-long learning with a human-like sense of curiosity, Honda Research Institute USA, Inc. announced a new initiative, the Curious Minded Machine (CMM), to expand its cognitive robotics research.
