写真
By incorporating living organisms into man-made systems such as machine parts, I am working to develop new technologies that differ from existing machine systems. For example, I am currently attempting to create bio-hybrid robots with self-assembly and self-repair functions that do not require electricity or fossil fuels by incorporating muscles into systems instead of motors. At the same time, I am also developing technologies for operating cells via magnetic fields and systems for fabricating biological tissue that can be transplanted from cells.
