In a significant advancement for the automotive industry, Honda Cars India Limited (HCIL) has signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with the Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) Delhi to advance cooperative intelligence (CI) technology, an artificial intelligence system aimed at improving human-machine interaction.
The agreement was formalized by senior officials from both organizations, including professor Preeti Ranjan Panda, dean of corporate relations at IIT Delhi, and Udit Kumar, senior vice president and director of HCIL, in the presence of IIT Delhi director Rangan Banerjee and Honda Cars India CEO Takuya Tsumura.
The MoU will see researchers from IIT Delhi collaborate with engineers from HCIL and Honda’s R&D subsidiary in Japan to further develop CI technologies.
These innovations aim to enhance safety by reducing traffic collisions and enabling automated driving, leveraging cutting-edge AI techniques to recognize surrounding environments and foster cooperative behavior between vehicles and humans.
Prof. Panda highlighted the growing demand for AI-powered sustainable mobility solutions. " This partnership aims to leverage IIT Delhi's advanced research and Honda’s expertise in practical applications to fast-track innovation and create solutions that benefit both customers and society across a wide range of applications.”
As part of the collaboration, Honda and IIT Delhi will work on joint research themes, with researchers engaging students in planning, designing, developing, and testing technologies that can move beyond laboratory confines. This collaborative approach will allow for more flexible and creative development.
Honda, which is already conducting cooperative intelligence technology demonstrations in Japan, will also test CI-based driving assistance and automated driving technologies in the suburbs of Delhi. By verifying these technologies in real-world traffic conditions, the partners hope to refine CI for future applications in India and globally.
