トヨタ自動車の米国での人工知能技術の研究・開発を行う拠点「Toyota Research Institute(TRI)」は8月10日(米国時間)、人工知能関連の研究でミシガン大学と連携すると発表した。

今回の連携は、ミシガン大学のある米国ミシガン州アナーバー地区に向けた取り組みを強化するもので、モビリティが抱える複雑な課題を人工知能で解消することを目指して行われるという。

具体的には、より安全・安心で効率的な移動手段をユーザーに届けることを目指して、同大学の研究者や学生たちとともに新たな知能化技術の開発に取り組んでいくとするほか、モビリティ技術を活用し、高齢者や特別な助けが必要な人たちを室内でサポートする技術にも注力していくとする。

なお、ミシガン大学は今回の連携にあたり、学内の教授や学生を対象に、モビリティ、安全性向上、生活支援ロボットなどにおける課題解決に向けた提案を募集するとするほか、TRIは今後4年間で2200万ドルを投じ、クルマの安全性向上、生活支援ロボットや自動運転をはじめとする領域での連携研究などの取り組みを行っていくとしている。また、トヨタはスタンフォード大学およびマサチューセッツ工科大学と、それぞれ2500万ドルの予算を投じ人工知能の連携研究センターを設立しており、TRIも両大学の近くにそれぞれ拠点を設け、ともに研究を進めているという。

Father Gabriel Richard (October 15, 1767 – September 13, 1832) was a French Roman Catholic priest and founder of the University of Michigan who became a Delegate from Michigan Territory to the U.S. House of Representatives.

He was born in La Ville de Saintes, France and entered the seminary in Angers in 1784 and was ordained on October 15, 1790. In 1792, he emigrated to Baltimore, Maryland. He taught mathematics at St. Mary's Seminary in Baltimore, until being assigned by Bishop Carroll to do missionary work to the Indians in the Northwest Territory. He was first stationed in what is now Kaskaskia, Illinois, and later in Detroit, Michigan. Fr. Richard was a priest of the Society of Saint-Sulpice.^[1]

Richard arrived in Detroit on the Feast of Corpus Christi in June 1798^[2] to be the assistant pastor at Ste. Anne's Church. In 1804 he opened a school in Detroit, but this was destroyed by the fire that leveled the city in 1805. This is when Fr. Gabriel Richard wrote the city of Detroit's motto: Speramus meliora; resurget cineribus^[3]; In English: "We hope for better things; it will arise from the ashes." Fr. Richard organized the shipment of food aid to the city from neighboring ribbon farms in order to alleviate a food crisis following the loss of the city's supply of livestock and grain.^[4]
In 1807, he was invited by a Protestant congregation to act as their clergyman. He did so successfully by concentrating on the elements of Christianity where they agreed. He had the first printing press in Detroit and published a periodical in the French language entitled Essais du Michigan, as well as The Michigan Essay, or Impartial Observer, in 1809. He was strongly in favor of the War of 1812 and trading with China.
Father Richard ministered among the Indians of the region and was generally admired by them. During the War of 1812, Richard was imprisoned by the British for refusing to swear an oath of allegiance after their capture of Detroit, saying, "I have taken an oath to support the Constitution of the United States and I cannot take another. Do with me as you please." He was released when the Shawnee chief Tecumseh, in spite of his hatred for the Americans, refused to fight for the British while Richard was imprisoned.^[5]

Together with Chief Justice Augustus B. Woodward, Richard was a co-founder of the Catholepistemiad of Michigania (which would become the University of Michigan), authorized by the legislature in 1817. He served as its Vice-President from 1817 to 1821. Following the reorganization of the University in 1821, he was appointed to its Board of Trustees and served until his death.
