The Woven by Toyota Robotics Group was recently established in 2020. Our focus is on creating core competencies for next-generation robotics businesses. The Toyota Woven City project, which was also announced in 2020, will act as one of our big test environments, in which our developed robotics capabilities and applications will work on how best to contribute to better living. To make it happen, we are seeking highly talented individuals with whom to take on these challenges together. We have two guiding mission statements:

To extend the capabilities of robots through R&D targeting solid long-term results.

To develop applications and services through frequent PoC (proof of concept) experiments vetting new core robotics technologies

Our core members have been deeply involved in developing robots (specifically humanoids and mobile manipulators, such as Toyota Motor Corporation's HSR) for many years. We have multiple mid-career members and people who have international work experience.

We also work very closely with Toyota Research Institute (TRI) in the USA and other entities across the world, sharing resources and ideas, in order to accelerate each other's technological development. By doing all of this, we aim to cultivate a bright new era of Japanese business culture, including openness, honesty, collaboration, and a healthy work-life balance.
