--Federated Learning offers privacy-preserving collaborative intelligence but struggles to meet the sustainability demands of emerging IoT ecosystems necessary for Society 5.0--a human-centered technological future balancing social advancement with environmental responsibility. The excessive communication bandwidth and computational resources required by traditional FL approaches make them environmentally un-sustainable at scale, creating a fundamental conflict with green AI principles as billions of resource-constrained devices attempt to participate. T o this end, we introduce Sparse Proximity-based Self-Federated Learning (SParSeFuL), a resource-aware approach that bridges this gap by combining aggregate computing for self-organization with neural network sparsification to reduce energy and bandwidth consumption. A. Context The Internet of Things (IoT) landscape is rapidly evolving, with systems growing increasingly complex and ubiquitous. This expansion necessitates novel paradigms capable of scaling to meet emerging societal challenges. Society 5.0 [1], the vision of a human-centered society that balances economic advancement with social problem-solving, emphasizes a shift from centralized infrastructures toward decentralized, self-organizing systems that can effectively manage the complexity of modern requirements.

Metarobotics aims to combine next generation wireless communication, multi-sense immersion, and collective intelligence to provide a pervasive, itinerant, and non-invasive access and interaction with distant robotized applications. Industry and society are expected to benefit from these functionalities. For instance, robot programmers will no longer travel worldwide to plan and test robot motions, even collaboratively. Instead, they will have a personalized access to robots and their environments from anywhere, thus spending more time with family and friends. Students enrolled in robotics courses will be taught under authentic industrial conditions in real-time. This paper describes objectives of Metarobotics in society, industry, and in-between. It identifies and surveys technologies likely to enable their completion and provides an architecture to put forward the interplay of key components of Metarobotics. Potentials for self-determination, self-efficacy, and work-life-flexibility in robotics-related applications in Society 5.0, Industry 4.0, and Industry 5.0 are outlined.

The concept of digital twin (DT), which enables the creation of a programmable, digital representation of physical systems, is expected to revolutionize future industries and will lie at the heart of the vision of a future smart society, namely, Society 5.0, in which high integration between cyber (digital) and physical spaces is exploited to bring economic and societal advancements. However, the success of such a DT-driven Society 5.0 requires a synergistic convergence of artificial intelligence and networking technologies into an integrated, programmable system that can coordinate networks of DTs to effectively deliver diverse Society 5.0 services. Prior works remain restricted to either qualitative study, simple analysis or software implementations of a single DT, and thus, they cannot provide the highly synergistic integration of digital and physical spaces as required by Society 5.0. In contrast, this paper envisions a novel concept of an Internet of Federated Digital Twins (IoFDT) that holistically integrates heterogeneous and physically separated DTs representing different Society 5.0 services within a single framework and system. For this concept of IoFDT, we first introduce a hierarchical architecture that integrates federated DTs through horizontal and vertical interactions, bridging the cyber and physical spaces to unlock new possibilities. Then, we discuss the challenges of realizing IoFDT, highlighting the intricacies across communication, computing, and AI-native networks while also underscoring potential innovative solutions. Subsequently, we elaborate on the importance of the implementation of a unified IoFDT platform that integrates all technical components and orchestrates their interactions, emphasizing the necessity of practical experimental platforms with a focus on real-world applications in areas like smart mobility.

But if you judge a fish by its ability to climb a tree, it will live its whole life believing that it is stupid." "Our technology, our machines, is part of our humanity. We created them to extend ourselves, and that is what is unique about human beings." What are the most powerful technologies of our society 5.0 times? How can we cope with them?. The concept of society 5.0 is a vision of a future human centred society, nature where technology is used for the best possible outcomes. Society 5.0 is not about one single country or city. It is about humans, the planet and a balanced sustainable ecosystem. As we speak Human society and intelligence is being vastly amplified, changed and augmented by AI. Even with our basic forms of narrow AI we are already seeing the biggest disruption of human society with manipulation of entire societies with social media, fake news and dark data. This to add to our financial and capital markets that as we speak are all run by algorithms and deep learning / machine learning SAAS and PAAS. We can define technology as the application of tools, scientific knowledge for concrete practical uses, this happens in social aspects of our society life and especially in business and industry. When we speak about technology we tend to talk about "advances in technology, computing technology" and many forms of tools, machinery and equipment developed from the application of research, invention and based on practical and scientific knowledge. The usage of technologies can and is normally used to solve a specific problem and reduce a society and its many sectors, the industry's ability to use a solution to develop a tool and use a budget on a new technology or set of innovation tech. Nowadays in Society 5.0 we tend to define technology as a set of tools and innovations we use in the branch of knowledge dealing with engineering or applied sciences put in practice for our society. Society 5.0 where we live has a large and complex global population. According to recent data from the United Nations (2019) the world's population is expected to increase by 2 billion persons in the next 30 years, from 7.7 billion currently to 9.7 or over 10 billion in 2050. The same research estimates the world population in 2100 to be 10.9 billion. But the predictions vary according to different projections. "Seventy thousand years ago, homo sapiens was still an insignificant animal minding its own business in a corner of Africa.

Will the Metaverse(s) change humanity as we know it? Will the Metaverse(s) be the ultimate augmentation of human perception? Will it become an agora for our dreams (and, of course, nightmares), able to transform human perception entirely? To start with the latter question: Yes, the groundwork has already been laid. Sensors from our smartphones, social media, digital devices, and the digital data-driven companies that top the Fortune 500 comprise the new cathedrals, religions and tribal spaces for humanity. These technologies and the onset of the so-called Fourth Industrial Revolution, or 4IR, and the AI-driven Society 5.0 have seen more change in humanity in the last 50 years than in the previous 30,000 combined.

The endless possibilities and concerns about future technologies are staggering. Some suggest that through AI's enhanced productivity we will get to a point that humans will be free from working monotonous jobs. In return, we may find ourselves receiving stipends from the work that our robot counterparts are performing. Others fear that our robotic workforce will work their way up the corporate ladder and push us out to pasture long before were ready to leave. No one really knows what the future holds, but one country has an interesting perspective on artificial intelligence and how it will be harnessed to serve its citizens.

Japan's major annual electronics show involving more than 300 companies opened Tuesday, with the spotlight on cutting-edge technologies designed to achieve carbon neutrality. As was the case last year, organizers decided to hold the Combined Exhibition of Advanced Technologies online as a precaution against the coronavirus. The event through Friday, under the theme of "Toward Society 5.0 with the New Normal," is accessible by the public with pre-registration. Rechargeable batteries to store renewable energy and carbon recycling technologies are among exhibited products that may help Japan and other countries reach the goal of net zero carbon emissions in the next several decades. The concept of Society 5.0 to incorporate innovative technologies such as artificial intelligence and robots into society has been promoted by Japanese industries and the government.

The analysis of huge amount of data requires AI able to schedule the human needs. We propose a method able to manage the man-machine interaction data flow. We analyze the smart maintenance in a scalable global method. Our method demonstrated a reduction in costs with an increase in production. The implementation of artificial intelligence (AI) in a smart society, in which the analysis of human habits is mandatory, requires automated data scheduling and analysis using smart applications, a smart infrastructure, smart systems, and a smart network.

Malaysia 5.0 outlines a problem-solving approach to society's challenges and problems through the deployment and implementation of Fourth Industrial Revolution (IR4.0) The term "Society 5.0" describes the next stage of the evolution of societal communities, following the hunting society (Society 1.0), agricultural society (Society 2.0), industrial society (Society 3.0), and information society (Society 4.0). The key differentiation of Society 5.0 (the digital age) from Society 4.0 (the information age) is the convergence of the virtual world with the physical world. Covid-19 has accelerated the migration of society from physical infrastructures onto digital infrastructures, but Society 5.0 holds the promise to bring these back together through the use of IR4.0 technologies such as artificial intelligence (AI), internet of things (IoT), blockchain and digital assets (FinTech). A national IR4.0 policy is needed to create a new narrative for Malaysia as an innovation economy that can compete in a disruptive technology world, serve as a springboard into Asean, bridge Asia, the Middle East and Africa, as well as connect with the 1.8 billion Muslims worldwide.

Automation has become part of the global manufacturing line, where robots take on repetitive jobs, like filling boxes or welding a car frame in the same way, day after day. But what if robots could step away from their limited range of tasks, and start to problem solve in complex operational situations, like spotting a malfunction on the assembly line or identifying a better compound for a part? And how could robots enabled with "deep learning" – where algorithms learn from large amounts of data collected via experience – begin to share insights with other robots, to increase innovation in all kinds of settings, from factories to self-driving cars on the road to early cancer detection and drug discovery in hospitals? These questions are the focus of Preferred Networks, a cutting-edge artificial intelligence company founded in 2014. The Tokyo-based firm, which is worth roughly $2 billion, according to CB Insights, is a symbol of Japan's sweeping strategic innovation initiative, where AI and robotics are viewed as keys to both solving social issues and achieving new economic growth.
