Every time the Industrial Revolution brings new realities to the surface and slowly into our daily lives, the issue of energy and time efficiency is often present, in line with efforts to multiply production output. Meanwhile, the Industrial Revolution 4.0 seems not only to offer the latest solution to breaking distance and time, but also to try to create new 'figures' to replace humans to invite us to be more creative instead of remaining mechanical.

The Industrial Revolution 4.0 is how technologies such as artificial intelligence, autonomous vehicles and the internet affect human life, where today's technological developments have blurred the boundaries between Physical, Digital and Biological. Unlike the achievements of the previous Industrial Revolution which were physical and slowly answered human needs in terms of productivity, manufacturing, energy, to computerized systems, the Industrial Revolution 4.0 presented a leap that even brought humans to various new forms of reality by reducing space in the real world to the virtual world. with the presence of Artificial Intelligence (AI), Virtual Reality (VR), to Augmented Reality (AR).

Responding to this phenomenon, in 2019 Japan initiated 'Society 5.0' which puts forward the concept of human centered to redefine human existence in the midst of a mix of information system interruptions and automation in the daily lives of the people of the Industrial Revolution 4.0. The position of Japanese society as a true human being is projected as a subject and center of innovation capable of optimizing various technological leaps to achieve an increase in the quality of life and social responsibility with sustainable principles.
