This project aims to develop a system that enables users to remotely and flexibly operate multiple customer assistants (CAs) capable of delivering rich, hospitality-oriented services while perceiving the environment and user context. This system will allow individuals to participate in a wide range of social activities (work, education, healthcare, and daily life) without the need for physical presence on site. By 2050, we envision the realization of a society in which humans and avatars coexist. In such a society, lifestyles will be dramatically transformed in terms of how people choose locations, allocate their time, and extend their capabilities. At the same time, it will foster an inclusive environment where diverse individuals are mutually recognized, connected, and able to live together harmoniously.

This project aims to develop cybernetic avatars that can be controlled via intention. This intention will be estimated from brain activities and information observed on the surface of the human body and through interactions. We will integrate intention estimation methods using AI technologies, and enhance the functionality of cybernetic avatars controlled by brain machine interfaces (BMI) while considering ethical implications. By 2050, we will create the ultimate BMI-cybernetic avatars that can be freely operated by human intention.

We develop cybernetic avatar (CA) technologies that enable people with diverse physical conditions to fully express their abilities and demonstrate a wide range of skills. By enabling users—including those with disabilities or mobility challenges—to share and utilize skills and experiences, these technologies expand individual capabilities and support active participation in society and independent living.
In doing so, we address the safety, institutional, and ethical considerations required for such a future society, and aim to build an inclusive social infrastructure that harmonizes with both people and society.
By 2050, we envision a society in which anyone can extend their abilities through cybernetic avatars and freely engage in activities and challenges beyond physical limitations.

This project aims to develop an in-body Cybernetic Avatar (in-body CA) that can visualize the state of health in the body. We will structure spatio-temporal environmental information in the body by distributing and coordinating multiple types of millimeter-, micro-, and nanoscale in-body CAs to realize health monitoring and ultraminimally invasive diagnostics. By 2050, it will be useful for health maintenance, diagnosis, and disease prevention, and will be used by people in their daily lives, thereby contributing to a society of health and longevity.

This project aims to create core technologies on CA Teleoperator authentication, CA authentication and CA notarization that proves and certifies that the teleoperator can publicly use the CA under the law to build a CA infrastructure ensuring safe and security. It does research E3LSI(Ethical, Economic, Environmental, Legal, and Social Issues) to be tackled for realization of CA lifestyle, and create opportunities for proposals and discussions both domestically and internationally.
We aim to develop a new dimension of jurisprudence such as AI, robotics, and avatar law, by 2050.

This project aims to develop a reliability-ensuring infrastructure that enables remote control of various CAs even when unstable communication conditions such as jitter (time lag and fluctuation of signals), latency, and communication failures occur. To this end, it develops area optimization technology for wireless sections and network optimization technology including wired sections to maintain interactive connections between operators and multiple CAs to the maximum extent. We will build a reliability-assuring infrastructure that will enable CA remote control underwater, undersea, and in space by 2050.

This project aims to develop intracellular Cybernetic Avatars that extend the body's own immune capabilities. By remotely controlling multiple intracellular Cybernetic Avatars, doctors, and specialists will be able to patrol the body, inspect the malignant state of disease-causing cells, remove them if necessary, and keep the body in good condition at all times. By 2050 we aim to realize a safe and secure daily life and an increase in healthy life expectancy watched over by intracellular Cybernetic Avatars.
