- Developed based on the mobile Cybernetic Avatar (CA) Teleco, developed as part of the Moonshot Research and Development Program* Goal 1 project: Realization of an Avatar-Symbiotic Society where Everyone Can Perform Active Roles without Constraint.
- Sensors: LiDAR sensors, microphone array, and camera
- Actuators: Head pitch axis, vertical lift, drive wheels × 2
- Continuous operation: Over 20 hours
Note: Shares its locomotion system with Petra - The head, which resembles a pair of eyes, rotates back and forth and moves up and down.
* The Moonshot Research and Development Program
This government-led program sets forth ambitious “moonshot” goals aimed at solving major societal challenges, such as super-aging populations and climate change, and supports bold R&D efforts. Goal 1 of the program is overseen by the Japan Science and Technology Agency (JST). ISHIGURO Hiroshi serves as one of the project managers for Goal 1 and leads the project titled “Realization of an Avatar-Symbiotic Society where Everyone Can Perform Active Roles without Constraint.” This project promotes R&D to expand human physical, cognitive, and sensory capabilities through a Cybernetic Avatar (CA) platform, leveraging diverse forms of avatars including robots and CG, to realize daily life supported by CAs.
