We are seeking a researcher motivated for advanced human-robot/agent
interactions, which aims for human-level interaction experiences.
This project is a part of the Moonshot program “Avatar Symbiotic
Society”, one of the biggest funding by the Japanese Government in the
strategic areas.

It is also a follow-up of our Symbiotic Human-Robot Interaction
Project, in which we developed a human-like android ERICA.

In this project, we will integrate the autonomous conversational
robot/agent with a tele-operated avatar to realize a completely novel
interaction for the post-COVID-19 era.
