With the advances in the Internet, AI, and robot technologies, our daily lives and professional environments have increasingly incorporated a variety of digital media. My research and development efforts have been centered around a new, emerging type of medium: avatars. Avatars, which include both teleoperated robots and computer-generated (CG) agents, enable users to operate in physically distant locations or even virtual environments, such as the metaverse. Attracted by their convenience and the broad spectrum of possibilities, various organizations, including companies and hospitals, have explored utilizing robot avatars. However, despite the initial enthusiasm, the widespread adoption experienced only a modest surge and failed to firmly establish itself. The large-scale societal shift toward telework has clearly highlighted avatar technology’s potential to reshape how we work, communicate, and interact within a rapidly evolving digital landscape.
