Toyota Research Institute puts $35M into AI-powered materials research quoting : "MLive"

Toyota's dedicated research organization, Toyota Research Institute (TRI), is investing $35 million into collaborative research efforts with a number of university and corporate partners focused on materials science. The key through line here is that TRI's interest in materials science ties directly to exploration of making progress in the realm of energy use. "What we're doing now with our research partners and internally at TRI is not going to go into the Mirai next year," Krotkov said. TRI believes progress in artificial intelligence can help further efforts in this key area of basic research, specifically around three key areas, including fuel cell catalysts, batteries and functional polymers designed for energy storage. I asked how AI might help with this, and whether simulation of experiments was a key component.


As it stated in

The Toyota Research Institute has partnered with several universities, companies and research firms in its quest. The Toyota Research Institute was launched in 2015, and has offices in Ann Arbor, Cambridge and Los Altos, California. "The U-M project will combine mathematical models of the atomic nature and physics of materials with artificial intelligence. Toyota hopes a $35 million research investment will help it "revolutionize" materials science, as well as identify new fuel cell catalysts capable of powering zero-emission and carbon-neutral vehicles. TRI and its partners will focus on projects dealing with the development of new materials for batteries and fuel cells, finding uses of artificial intelligence for the development of new materials, and discovering new systems that "integrate simulation, machine learning, artificial intelligence and/or robotics."
