Summary of the project

Moonshot Goal 1 aims to establish a cybernetic avatar (CA) platform that allows anyone to participate in diverse social activities, and to promote a CA-based lifestyle that is aligned with socially accepted norms. Currently, R&D projects are being conducted from the three perspectives of "Freedom from Body, Brain, and Space and Time Limitations". At present, R&D is underway on fundamental technologies that enable a single teleoperator to remotely operate one or more CAs. By 2030, this will be extended to technologies and infrastructure that allow one teleoperator to operate more than 10 CAs simultaneously with the same accuracy and responsiveness as operating a single CA. Furthermore, by 2050, the goal is to develop technologies and infrastructure that enable collaborative teleoperation of large numbers of CAs by multiple teleoperators to perform large-scale, complex tasks. It is also envisioned that CA activity areas will be expanded to include environments such as air, sea, and the lunar surface, where human activity has traditionally been limited. This project aims to develop a communication platform that ensures stable CA service operation, even in the presence of degraded communication conditions due to latency, control complexity, high-density CA deployment, or, environmental changes.

Milestone by year 2030

This project aims to establish technologies that enable a single teleoperator to simultaneously operate 10 or more CAs by 2030. Furthermore, by 2050, it promotes the development of a reliability-ensuring infrastructure for “M×N teleoperation,” in which M teleoperators cooperatively control N CAs.

Milestone by year 2025

This project aims to demonstrate 1×N CA teleoperation by 2025, where a single teleoperator simultaneously controls 2 - 5 CAs operating in different locations. To achieve this, it will develop and validate technologies supporting such distributed, multi-CA teleoperations. In parallel, this project will also develop and demonstrate technologies for M×1 CA teleoperation, in which 2 - 5 teleoperators cooperatively control a single CA.
