Honda Begins Joint Research with Center for Information and Neural Networks (CiNet) to Strengthen its Study of Humans in the Areas of Mobility and Robotics

TOKYO, May 20, 2019 - (JCN Newswire) - Honda R&D Co., Ltd. (Honda R&D), a research and development subsidiary of Honda, today announced that, this month, it began a collaboration with the Center for Information and Neural Networks (CiNet) in neuroscientific research of humans in the areas of mobility and robotics.

This new research organization, Innovative Research Excellence, will play a central role within Honda to pursue this joint research with CiNet on the relationships between humans and both mobility and robotics. To be more specific, jointly with CiNet,

Honda will apply neuroscience to make clear how a driver can experience a sense of unity with the vehicle and what would be the optimal human-machine interface. Through such research, Honda and CiNet will strive to establish standards for the development of safer and more comfortable mobility and robotics technologies which offer peace of mind to the users.
