[1S09e]Harmony with Humans and Machines: Integrating Physiology and Micro/Nano Engineering for a Symbiotic Society

Tue. Mar 10, 2026 4:40 PM - 6:30 PM JST
Tue. Mar 10, 2026 7:40 AM - 9:30 AM UTC
Room 9(Basic Sciences Building, 4F, 411)
Organizers/Chairs: Kaori Kuribayashi-Shigetomi (Hokkaido University), Sachine Yoshida (Toho University)
Co-hosted by: The Japan Society of Mechanical Engineers
In the rapidly advancing fields of micro/nano engineering and physiology, the integration of these disciplines offers transformative potential for human-machine symbiosis. In the fields of medicine and welfare, bio-measurement and control technologies using micro-scale sensors and actuators are gaining attention. Additionally, in drug development, a research tool attracting interest as an alternative to conventional animal testing is the "body-on-a-chip." This technology arranges organ cells on a small chip, making it possible to reproduce phenomena that occur within the human body. This session explores how micro/nano technologies can be applied to physiological systems, enhancing human capabilities and fostering harmonious interactions between humans and machines.We aim to discuss innovative approaches, challenges, and future directions in creating technologies that seamlessly integrate with human biology.
