At Honda, we believe high efficiency, high intelligence, and clean energy as our primary goals in technology research. With these and mobility in mind, Honda constantly had
conducted a certain level of fundamental technology research.
In the late 1980's, global environment and energy issues became a world concern. In this ever-changing climate, in 1986, we allocated resources to a new research center dedicated to fundamental technology research to strengthen our research framework in electronics, new materials and computer science. With this move, Honda aims to create unique and innovative fundamental technologies for future.
In 2003, Honda Research Institute (HRI) was established in Japan, the U.S., and Europe to materialize Honda's scientific researches. "Innovation through Science" as its philosophy, HRI works openly with non-Honda research institutions to contribute to the society and Honda's sustainable growth in intelligent and green technology areas.

"Technology is for people."
"Manufacturing starts with understanding people."
These have been Honda's spirits since its establishment. For that sense, the important part of Honda's humanoid research is about knowing humans. Honda believes engineering approach to how human functions will leads to a development of highly advanced technologies necessary for the future.
Knowledge gained from our researches will help Honda continue to engage in creating technologies for many people.
