Discussion of ELSI issues associated with technological
This lecture aims to broaden the knowledge of ELSI issues (ethical, legal and social issues) in an AI, robotics and avatar symbiotic society. Focusing on the ELSI issues associated with the social implementation of contemporary technologies with attention to their applicability and deployability, through lectures and exercises, students will acquire the latest knowledge on ELSI issues research in an AI, robotics and avatar symbiotic society. Specifically, how current technologies are being applied, their future deployability, etc. will be discussed and the anticipated ELSI issues will be analysed.

The Augmented Town research project aims to build a new town platform using the latest technologies in XR and robotics, targeting a specific area in Tottori Prefecture as a model case. The keyword for this special research project is “augmentation”. While preserving the good old parts of the community, we will introduce various state-of-the-art technologies to prototype a system that will create new value and presence in the town.

A recent advance in noninvasive brain measurement techniques has enabled us to see human brain functions. In kenkyukai, we have learned these techniques as well as analysis methods. However, there were not enough opportunities to comprehensively learn about the details of brain information analysis, from the basics to practice. Therefore, we will prepare for brain information analysis and ask you to submit a simple preliminary assignment based on that preparation (please submit it by the end of August 2024). In this project, we will first learn about the basics of brain information analysis through lectures and materials. Next, we will apply what we have learned to brain data to promote understanding, and then present to each other. Finally, we will summarize what we learned on the web as a final assignment (please submit it by the end of September 2024).

We Conduct fieldwork research on museums (including field museums and small-scale historical exhibits) in Tsuchiura City and Ami Town, Ibaraki Prefecture, and interview their staff members.
In addition to the 3-day/2-night fieldwork, online classes will be conducted as advance preparation.

This project will concentrate on several design development projects that we are working on with private companies. These design projects are meant to be completed and launched as products. Therefore, this project is different from your regular semester design courses.

Students will explore ways to turn the outdoors into a place of belonging by understanding the existing conditions of the site, learning self-construction methods, experiencing the effects on-site, and discussing them.
In this term's special project A, we will experience architectural mechanics from the architecture right in front of us, especially through tensegrity, which handles large spaces with a small amount of materials, and the independent construction of frames using conventional wooden structures and temporary materials.
The aim is to gain learning from on-site lectures and exercises that cannot be obtained from university lectures.

A recent advance in noninvasive brain measurement techniques has enabled us to see human brain functions. In kenkyukai, we have learned these techniques as well as analysis methods, but less attempts have been made to survey background studies and summarize the knowledge. Therefore, we will prepare for the project by surveying neural information studies and by submitting the survey content as a preliminary assignment (please submit it by the end of January 2024). In this project, we will first survey neural information studies for summarization. Then, we will summarize the survey content and present it each other. Finally, we will share and structuralize the summarized content, and upload it on the web as a final assignment (please submit it by the end of February 2024).

Research on external architecture (conducted from site surveys and precedent case surveys. )

Recently, various types of metabolome analysis methods have appeared, and it is possible to measure a large number of metabolites. In this project, we will deepen our understanding of typical metabolome analysis methods and conduct metabolome analysis research using actual instrument.

Students would learn how to use Large-scale 3D Printers and 6 axis robot-arms. First, student would understand mechanical aspects and basic operations. Then students would try making special 3D digital model (through on-line remote collaboration). Finally all the students must create a video movie and submit a documentation summerizing all the activities in this class. Those are supposed to be published on the Web.

Discussion of ELSI Issues Associated with the Development of Technology in a Robot-Symbiosis Society.
This lecture aims to broaden the knowledge of ELSI issues (ethical, legal and social issues) in a robot symbiotic society. Focusing on the ELSI issues associated with the social implementation of contemporary technologies with attention to their applicability and deployability, through lectures and exercises, students will acquire up-to-date knowledge on the study of ELSI issues in a robot symbiotic society. Specifically, how current technologies are applied, future deployability will be discussed and expected ELSI issues will be analysed.

This class addresses SDGs and their implementaiton.

Since the end of the last century, the complete genomic sequences of many organisms have been determined. The impact of these genome projects on the various fields of science has been enormous. It could be said that we now have in our hands “the blueprints of life” for these organisms. At the beginning of the 21st century, it became apparent that large numbers of noncoding RNAs are, unexpectedly, encoded in these genomes. These RNAs are not translated into proteins but act as riboregulators, and have had another huge impact on the life sciences. More recently still, a new tide of research into the classical noncoding RNAs, such as the transfer RNAs (tRNAs), has arrived. In this project, we are especially focusing on the following subjects: (a) To construct CsgA-peptide expression system in E. coli. (b) To infer the origin of Ebola virus from the molecular evolution of viral proteins. (c) To analyze CSPs as a nucleic acid binding proteins across bacteria.

Students will create a piece of Digital Storytelling in Japanese. Digital Storytelling is a 3 or 4 minutes video that tells a story about themselves. Using the Japanese language according to each student's Japanese level, students will create a story with photos and videos. The aim is to improve their Japanese language skills through talking about themselves, writing scripts, and discussions. In the end, students will share their works, get to know each other, and share their thoughts.

"Life" was once thought to be so complex that it would be impossible to understand its entirety. However, with the advent of the 21st century, it has become possible to analyze large amounts of biological information, including genomes, and with the use of information technology, it is no longer a dream to understand the full extent of "life". SFC has been a pioneer in this field for more than two decades.

The applied fields of systems biology are unlimited, ranging from medical science, environmental science and ecology, food science, to the elucidation of the origin and evolution of life. In this special research project, we will conduct intensive research on a specific theme within the scope of advanced biosciences.

We will take place this class in Kamakura-City because Keio SFC and Kamakura-City made an official collaborative relationship since 2020. For this year, we will do 3 projects- (1) 3D-Scanning the city and ancient temples and shrines, and make new way of understanding city as 3D patterns, (2) Fabricating multi-purpose urban box with 3D Printing, (3) Make an interview and publish websites.

In the Wet-Bio building located in the SFC, various experiments such as gene introduction, microscopic observation of organisms, and breeding of small aquatic organisms are possible. Participants will be those who are usually interested in the life phenomena of a particular organism. First, each person shares their research content as a whole, then discusses the questions and solutions, and then discusses what could be considered if a survey were conducted based on that premise. Each person will follow suit, make a detailed plan for conducting the experiment, and announce the progress.

In this class, we will visit subtropical laurel forests and coastal vegetation on Amami Oshima and Kakeromajima to learn about the origins of the natural environment and the flora and fauna of these islands.
