At least some consequences of the development are not necessarily beneficial. It is highly plausible that our society, as it is today, places an excessive cognitive burden on the brains of children, the elderly, and even adults in the prime of life (see Fig. 1). In order to lead the development of technologies for every member of society in a healthy direction, it is necessary to develop new Information and Robot Technology (IRT) systems that can provide information and services on the basis of the understanding of higher human b
