The author has long been engaged in the research and development of robots that act as human surrogates. Moreover, the author has addressed the issues of how to give robots a sense of presence, how to make them look and feel alive, how to enrich human–robot interactions, and how to design a society where humans and robots coexist. Recently, based on this research and development, the author has led a project to realize the “Avatar-Symbiotic Society,” in which one can easily manipulate multiple avatars as one wishes and participate in various social activities through them. This study introduces some of the technologies developed in this research and introduces the concept of an avatar-symbiotic society. After describing the outline of the project, this study discusses ethical issues concerning the research and development of avatars.
