Due to the development of regenerative medicine technology and iPS cell-related technology in recent years, it is becoming possible to reconstruct not only simple living tissues but also some living organs. At this stage, these techniques are limited to pathological applications such as reproducing specific disease states. We have been developing a cyborg that directly incorporates cells as soft and intelligent parts in order to develop a new intelligent system that connects and controls machines and living organisms.
Self-modifying bio-machine hybrid system
We aim for an intelligent mechanical system that self-modifies by applying the mechanical stimulus-response of cells. Researchers in Japan and overseas have revealed that mechanical stimuli can modify cell functions and even differentiation pathways. Mechanical stimulation, which is an engineering technology, has shown the possibility of manipulating a living body as if it were a robot device. Based on the findings, we hope to construct an intelligent system that acquires the ability to self-modify (grow, replicate, self-repair) depending on the situation.
Autonomous decentralized system that expresses intelligent ability through interaction with the environment
Even primitive species such as true slime molds exhibit intelligent behavior through interaction with the environment. While such phenomena are biologically interesting, their mechanisms can be generalized and abstracted from an engineering point, and applications in industrial and educational fields can also be expected. We are analyzing the group behavior of jellyfish, synchronization phenomena, and application to robots.
Artificial intelligent system with a body packaged with biomaterials
By applying an appropriate stimulus to muscle cells, it is possible to develop an actuator that can extract mechanical output. Conventionally, it was necessary to use external devices such as a pulse generator to drive muscle cells. In this research, we aim to develop an artificial intelligent system with a body that is packaged only with biomaterials by directly connecting living muscle tissue and brain organoids. This makes it possible to create “living machines” based on principles that are completely different from conventional robots.
