Dubai Future Labs (DFL) and Osaka University, under the supervision of Japan Science and Technology Agency (JST), have formalized a collaboration aimed at advancing research and development (R&D) in new technologies and concepts. This agreement aligns with Dubai's Research and Development Program, designed to bolster key economic sectors and foster growth opportunities through comprehensive innovation frameworks across the emirate.

The partnership involves DFL and JST's Moonshot Goal 1 initiative, which includes joint R&D efforts with institutions like the University of Electro-Communications, RIKEN, Advanced Telecommunications Research Institute International, and Cyber Agent, Inc. Together, they plan to establish a world-class research laboratory focused on Cybernetic Avatar Alliance: Dubai Japan Laboratories for Cybernetic Avatar Technologies.

Key research areas will include operating multiple Cybernetic Avatars (CAs) via a single operator using large language models (LLMs), developing culturally adaptable cybernetic avatar robots, and conducting social acceptance studies on various types of CAs.
