| 研究実績の概要 |
On the experimental side, our focus was on novel candidates for molecular robotic bodies: DNA droplets and water‐in‐water droplets with signaling and sensing capabilities. We also implemented a system for the dynamic production of molecular signals, thus completing the last elements needed for molecular robots according to the original plan.
On the theoretical side, we continued our work on the implementation of a molecular algorithm for area shape recognition in a swarm of (electronic) robots. We also extended our molecular computing model and designed a molecular oscillator that can be toggled between different limit cycles.
In terms of collaborations, we organized two trips to the French side: one hands-on research trip, working directly on the robotic implementation, and one short workshop, reporting on the progress of both sides and discussing further collaborations.

理由
We achieved all goals mentioned at the beginning of the year without particular delay. We published 10 journal articles and 1 international conference proceedings article based on those results.

| 今後の研究の推進方策 |
As the final year of the project, we want to both finalize some of the experimental designs created so far as well as investigate new ideas for future collaborations with the French side.
In particular, we want to strengthen our collaboration on molecular systems. We will focus on two types of systems: (a) swarms made of microtubules and kinesin, and (b) DNA hydrogel formation based on DNA-chemical reaction networks.
On the theoretical side, we plan to finish the swarm robotics implementation of our algorithm and move on to novel robots developped by the French side. We also plan to develop an efficient sequence design algorithm using combinatorial optimization techniques discussed with the French side during the last fiscal year. Finally, we will work on the modeling and simulation of systems designed on the experimental side.

| 次年度使用額が生じた理由 |
The excess of budget resulted from our inability to travel to the partner institution while restrictions were in place. That excess was partially consumed during the year 2022~2023 period as travel was restored. The reminder will be, likewise, consumed through experiments performed on the French side. The current situation will allow us to catch up with the original plan, thus matching the expected expenditures.
Any potential reminder will be used for traveling to conferences, presenting the results of the project.
