Joint Research and Production of Digital Minister Taro Kono’s Avatar Robot

Joint Research and Production of Digital Minister Taro Kono’s Avatar Robot

KiQ started collaborative research and production of “physical knowledge” using his work and interactive design.

“The subject of avatar robot research has been focused on the pursuit of appearance and dialogue function, and humans have been forced to connects and movements.
In the field of human interactive design and XR, it is not a mechanism that connects not only human mind, technology, body, and complex。s, but also simple。s. “
Humans are consciously involved with others and the environment in the body and mind.
In the “shosa” design of Taro Kono’s robot, KiQ conducted both qualitative and quantitative analysis on the interpretation and of the “Shosa” creation of the minister.
The most important thing in human expression is not only “words” and “visuals”, but also the hypo of “shosaku” which is a communication with the mind, we redesign and update the robot’s work. By doing so, we incorporate the concept of “Shosa-Logy” into artwork and experiences usingSciences and interactiveness, and we are transforming it into a creative way.
As part of our activities, KiQ redesigned the hustleness of Mr. Kawano and Mr. Ishiguro’s robots and incorporates human-like rich work.
In the human-like beautiful “work” that Japan has been cherished, there is a spirit of heartfeltness, not only marginal and speed. In addition, it is necessary to have meaning in harmony with the other party.

Mr. Kono’s robot was developed in the “realization of the avatar coexistence society that everyone can play freely” which is a moon-shot research and development project by Mr. Ishiguro.
Minister Kawano was the Minister of Special Order of Cabinet Office at the time of production, and Avatar was developed as an avatar to convey the way society is.
KiQ is collaborating with ATR (International Telecommunications Research Institute) to disassemble and classify each of its works so that this avatar can convey a message to people with expressiveness.
In addition, I redesigned and directed the movement of robots (HI-6) modeled by Mr. Ishiguro.

In the design of Taro Kawano robot, we interpret and create the works and behavior of the Minister Kawano, bothlitative andntitative analysis by KiQ.
“In order to talk to this robot, we recorded the voices of the Minister Kawano and obtained the original story of the story.
We re ed the characteristic movement of the individual andntitatively decided the law by the implementation of the engineering and designed the swelling. “
As a result, Mr. Kawano and Mr. Ishiguro’s model robots can now have conversations in a richer place than the individual.
“We will continue to further research, and we will design the level of robots that can be influenced by humans in various situations.
In addition, Shosa-Logy is built into an interactive artwork for installations and living environments. “
By using a robot with rich hustleness as an avatar, it has an identity for people with disabilities and expansion of options in conveying. We believe that we can communicate with various modalities.
We will pursue the “art of living” through the definition of robots that far exceed humans and the pursuit of human mind.
