Outline of Final Research Achievements |
In this research project, a three-stage plan was implemented in each year of the three-year research period: 1) to elucidate the mechanism of autonomous behavior selection of Physarum plasmodium, 2) to express the phenomenon in an engineeringly applicable form by modeling it, and 3) to apply it to AI and implement the autonomy of the organism in AI. The results showed that the slime molds are able to control their behavior. As a result, we succeeded in observing the phenomena that occur when slime molds change their behavioral rules, modeling them as a gene regulatory network, and conducting a theoretical analysis. Although we were not able to implement AI because we changed some of our plans and focused on theoretical analysis, we are well prepared for future implementation, and the amount of achievement we have obtained in this project is equal to or greater than that of our original plans.

Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements |
生物の情報処理に学びそれをコンピューティングに応用しようとする Bio-inspired Computing の分野ではこれまで様々な研究が行われているが,生物の生物らしい特徴を直接的に計算に応用した例,もしくはそれを AI 実装した例はほとんど存在していない.一方,本研究は生物の情報処理メカニズムに関する実験的観察から直接的に AI 実装に至るまでの道筋を付けたという点で,今後の同分野の発展に資するところが大きいと思われる.
