Legal Issues Concerning Cybernetic Avatars

Research output: Chapter in Book/Report/Conference proceedingConference contribution

Abstract

The purpose of this paper is to examine the legal implications of cybernetic avatars (CA), which will be used in our daily life as remotely operated and autonomous robots. Such legal aspects consider the research, development, and use of 'cyber-physical systems (CPS)', which combine 'cyber' and 'physical' elements, and are referred to as the 'avatar law'. The legal issues regarding CA need to be considered from the same perspective not only in Japan but also internationally.
