■Superhuman Sports Grand Challenge.
We held a symposium on the Superhuman Sports Grand Challenge.
This is an attempt to surpass human physical abilities using "superhumanization technology" that integrates machines with the human body.
We aim to help people through technology, expand human potential, and contribute to the creation of a future society that goes beyond physical limitations.

This time around, I introduce new challenges in three domains: the "Super SPRINT Challenge: Expansion of Our Physical Ability to Run," "Super PHYSICAL Challenge: Expansion of Physical Strength and Dexterity," and "Super SENSE Challenge: Expanding Our Ability to Recognize Space."
MORNING in the Future (30-second commercial)
Super SPRINT Challenge
This challenge is about expanding our physical ability to run.
The goal is to break the world record in a time-based challenge for a specified distance.
The expectation is that it would lead to developments in mobility tools usable in real-world society.
This features Masaki Mochimaru and Akihiko Murai of the National Institute of Advanced Industrial Science and Technology, and Takayuki Tanaka of Hokkaido University.
Super PHYSICAL Challenge
This is a well-balanced challenge about people's strength, agility, dexterity, and endurance.
It is hoped that it will be applied to the design of wearable support devices used in situations where minute control is required, such as rehabilitation, nursing, and factory work.
This features Yuichi Kurita of Hiroshima University and Takayuki Tanaka of Hokkaido University.
Super SENSE Challenge
This is a challenge geared at expanding the sensibilities we use to recognize space.
It is hoped that it will lead to the development of systems that support the elderly and visually impaired, and information presentation methods that do not rely on sight, such as ways of moving in dark environments with the support of devices.
This features Kouta Minamizawa of Keio University.
Even if one has a chance to compete in the Olympics, they may have no chance at the Paralympic Games.
Superhuman Sports emerged after it was decided that the Olympics would be held in Tokyo, with the idea of letting people participate in the Olympics/Paralympics and breaking down barriers.

At the time, there was a debate about the possibility of people emerging who would amputate their limbs, wear apparatus, and participate in the Paralympics.
That seems like it could come into being.
But it's still an unproductive discussion.
So that being the case, it'd be better to develop and host an international competition such that everyone can take part, such as with super sports.
"Would you amputate your legs to enter the Paralympics?"

There is much more in store for superhuman sports.
Stay tuned!
