The goal of Moonshot Goal 1 is to make cybernetic avatars (CA) active everywhere in society and bring about major changes in social life. Anyone can use CA as an alter ego, enabling them to collaborate remotely and accomplish difficult tasks. However, such a CA society is difficult to realize without highly-reliable communication. We aim to realize a reliability-ensuring infrastructure for a CA society that allows a wide variety of CAs to connect even in areas where humans cannot enter, and to sustain interactive remote control.

The goal is to realize highly reliable wireless networks to remotely control cybernetic avatars(CAs). This research develops intelligent local networks composed of smart spot cells and optimizes them depending on the locations of the CAs and network conditions. Various parameters of the wireless networks will be optimized to maximize the throughput and reliability of the network to control the CAs.

Socio-CAs are used for fulfill tasks that need interaction with human. So, many people may gather or walk around a socio-CA, and it causes disruption of wireless communication of socio-CAs. For supporting socio-CA's operators who are not experts of wireless communications, we develop a system-level simulator of socio-CA's communications to assess socio-CA's communication quality. We also study on wireless networking technologies to realize robust socio-CA's communications even when many socio-CAs and people exist and they move around.

Toward the realization of a society that can utilize cybernetic avatars (CAs), we will develop a reliability-ensuring communication platform that supports remote operation of CAs by those who operate CAs, as well as stable communication with those who need dialogue or assistance through CAs.

For humans and cybernetic avatars (CAs) to communicate with each other through a highly reliable and low latency over wired and wireless networks, we will propose and develop an extension of information-centric networking (ICN) called ICNx, which is an evolution and advancement of ICN. To realize the proposed technology, the ICNx platform will be developed using the open source software Cefore to enable M x N bidirectional communication between multiple users (operators) and multiple CAs.
