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 communication. We aim to realize a communication 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.

Movement of CA and people causes a change of wireless environment, and it results in a variation of the required resources to accommodate CA's communications. Hence, it is necessary to set the upper limit of the number of accommodated CAs considering the worst case. This theme studies on the technologies to obtain the upper limit of the number of accommodated CAs in advance, and to configure the wireless networks in order to Avoid disruption of CA's communications.

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.

For humans and Cybernetic Avatars (CAs) to communicate with each other through a highly reliable, low latency, and highly efficient communication platform over wired and wireless networks, we will conduct research and development of ICNx. ICNx is a novel networking technology leveraged by a new network architecture called information-centric networking (ICN). In order to realize the proposed technology, we will develop the ICNx platform using open-source software, named Cefore, to enable M × N communications between multiple human users and multiple CAs.

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