Mirarista Announces "Spatial Address" - A New Foundation to Treat Real-World Space Like IP Addresses

Mirarista Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Shinagawa-ku, Tokyo; Representative Director CEO: Koji Konno) announced a new foundational concept, "Spatial Address," which assigns "IP address-like identifiers" to all locations in real space, treating positions as common IDs. This concept normalizes location information obtained by different positioning methods (GNSS, SLAM, etc.) into a single identifier, allowing the same location to be treated with the same ID regardless of indoor or outdoor environments. This enables coordinated operations and overall optimal management based on location information for multiple entities such as people, robots, vehicles, and devices. Related technologies are patent-pending. The concept will be introduced at "Startup JAPAN EXPO 2026" from April 15-16, 2026, at Makuhari Messe International Exhibition Hall 7-8. The current challenges in location information include difficulty in indoor/non-open sky positioning, inconsistency between different positioning methods, unintuitive coordinate information, and high costs for location sharing in infrastructure and construction. The "Spatial Address" aims to solve these by providing a unified, measurement-independent ID for locations, acting as a "common language of space" for various entities. Potential applications include coordinated control of multiple robots, enhanced safety management in construction, precise inspection point alignment in infrastructure, and cooperative control in autonomous driving. Mirarista will continue technical examination and verification, especially in construction, manufacturing, and social infrastructure, aiming to establish it as a foundation for common spatial recognition among multiple entities.
