Toyota Research Institute, Cornell Partner on AI Projects

By Syl Kacapyr

Cornell researchers are teaming up with the Toyota Research Institute (TRI) as part of a new phase of the institute’s collaborative University Research Program focused on advancing artificial intelligence and robotics, among other research areas.

Research projects spanning 31 universities were announced May 18 as part of the University Research Program 3.0, with each project being co-led by university researchers and a Toyota Research Institute co-investigator working as peers to ensure that fundamental research and real-world application evolve together. Leading one of Cornell’s projects are Hadas Kress-Gazit, the Geoffrey S.M. Hedrick Senior Professor, together with Guy Hoffman, associate professor – both in the Sibley School of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering in the Cornell Duffield College of Engineering.

Leading a separate project is Angelina Wang, assistant professor of information science in the Cornell Bowers College of Computing and Information Science and based at Cornell Tech.
