  In this study, we propose a telework "avatar work" that enables people with
disabilities to engage in physical works such as customer service in order to
realize an inclusive society, where we can do anything if we have free mind,
even though we are bedridden. In avatar work, disabled people can remotely
engage in physical work by operating a proposed robot "OriHime-D" with a mouse
or gaze input depending on their own disabilities. As a social implementation
initiative of avatar work, we have opened a two-week limited avatar robot cafe
and have evaluated remote employment by people with disabilities using
OriHime-D. As the results by 10 people with disabilities, we have confirmed
that the proposed avatar work leads to mental fulfillment for people with
disparities, and can be designed with adaptable workload. In addition, we have
confirmed that the work content of the experimental cafe is appropriate for
people with a variety of disabilities seeking social participation. This study
contributes to fulfillment all through life and lifetime working, and at the
same time leads to a solution to the employment shortage problem.
