O-01
Ren Otsuka (Harrow International School Appi)Development of a biomimetics robot based on crocodile ecology
MOREThe objective was to investigate the relationship between crocodile limb bones and habitat to elucidate the habitat of extinct animals. Based on the hypothesis that the environment affects the skeleton, we investigated the limb bones of aquatic and terrestrial crocodilians and found differences in bone shape. He also believes that a robot that mimics the characteristics of the crocodile obtained in the research process would be useful for environmental surveys and transportation, and is working to develop such a robot. The robot's walking problem could be improved by reflecting the skeletal features in the robot. We believe that this could lead to the elucidation of the crocodile's body structure and gait. -
O-02
Chisuke Ren (Tokiwamatsu Gakuen High School)Creation of controllers for handheld games for people with disabilities
MOREThe goal was to create a controller for people with disabilities that is easy to play with outdoors. First, we focused on the possibility of changing the ease of holding by attaching a grip. After testing four prototypes, the snowball-shaped grip was the most popular. We compared the performance of the Joy-Cons with two controllers on the market. We used this as the basis for creating the controllers. Some of them had difficulty even holding the controller. So we thought we should come up with a different idea than just holding it. -
O-03
Manjun Hoshi (Uonuma Municipal Yunotani Junior High School)Violets open and close - Which can be increased and which can be left behind? ~ (from the book "The Violets of the World")
MORELearn the difference in DNA between the base stock, open flowers, and closed flowers of violets. I thought that the DNA of the base stock and the closed flower would be the same, while the DNA of the open flower would be significantly different. Surprisingly, however, there was no difference. There, self-pollination may be occurring even in open flowers. We also believe that this is an important key to reproduction in the environment. -
O-04
Theo Anton (Joso Gakuin High School)Sputtering induction technology to extend the life of hole thrusters
MOREIn this study, we constructed a simulation to derive the relationship between stress and sputtering. As a result, it was found that it is possible to partially concentrate sputtering by stress. In the future, we will create an actual model and aim to develop a new life extension method to reduce the erosion of the entire thruster by guiding and replacing the erosion to unnecessary parts (sacrificial parts). -
O-05
Yoyo Fujiki (Shibuya Gakuen Makuhari High School)Development of a beverage using thin peanut hulls and exploration of polyphenols
MOREThe goal of our research is to create a tasty and nutritious form of peanut husk, most of which is currently discarded. We solved the drawbacks of using peanut hulls, such as boiling them as tea and the astringent taste, by blending them with green tea. In particular, the CV method using carbon nanotubes has revealed that the amount of catechins extracted from green tea increases when blended with green tea, and further value in the use of peanut hulls is expected. -
O-06
Ayuta Nabeshima (Tosa Juku High School)Finger movement and claw utilization during gecko walking
MOREI decided to take a deeper look at my findings regarding finger reduction and nail utilization. First, regarding the utilization of fingernails, I considered that the fingers on the outside of the body were used more frequently. In addition, since the adhesive strength is higher on the outside of the body, I considered that the frequency of reduction was higher on the inner fingers. After observing geckos walking, we found that they deflect their fingers outward during walking, which is unique to geckos. Using this, the gecko's behavior could be deeply related to the gecko's behavior. -
O-07
Daichi Nakayama (Sanda Gakuen High School)Effect of compression supporter combination after stretching on physiological function
MOREThe purpose of this study was to clarify which conditions had an effect on physiological function: no compression garments (CG) without stretching (CL), dynamic stretching (DS), wearing CG, and DS after wearing CG. The results showed that DS after CG was effective, and the respiratory rate was lower than that of DS alone. -
O-08
Seiichi Kondo (Shibaura Institute of Technology Senior High School)Solving the problem of congestion at crosswalks due to the flow of people during events
MOREThe number of visitors to Roppongi Hills during the Christmas illumination lighting has increased rapidly, and difficult and dangerous traffic conditions have become a problem in recent years. From on-site surveys, we focused on the possibility that differences in behavior on pedestrian crossings could be the cause. Furthermore, thinking that the problem could be solved by setting up routes suitable for pedestrians' purposes, we created our own human flow simulation program and attempted to test our hypothesis. As a result, it was shown that certain effects could be expected from the implementation of zoning and one-way traffic. -
O-09
Yuriya Yoshizawa (Seochi Fukaya High School)Lifestyle of Mamizukuran jellyfish revealed by adherent plate survey
MOREMamizu jellyfish is a rare freshwater jellyfish that has been described as "haunting. Difficult to spot, this species is virtually unexplored in the wild. The juvenile polyps of this species spend most of their life cycle attached to something. Through laboratory studies and a year-long survey using attachment plate surveys, we have determined what this species attaches to and how it expands its habitat seasonally. -
O-10
Nijito Shinobe (Steiner Gakuen High School)Development of a communication robot for hospitalized children that "provides a sense of security through hugging.
MOREWith the aim of enabling the affected child to feel a sense of security through hugging even in situations where direct contact with the mother is not possible, we developed the HugBot, which enables voice conversation with the mother at a remote location while hugging the robot. As a result, although the shape of the HugBot was evaluated for its ease of hugging, it had a strong mechanical feel and lacked a sense of life, and did not achieve the sensation of hugging a human being. Considering that warmth is necessary to reproduce the sensation of hugging, we will develop and demonstrate Breath, which has human-like breathing and body temperature. -
O-11
Yuki Yamaguchi (Saga Nishi Senior High School)Study of the life cycle of deformable fungi as a function of environmental changes
MOREThe purpose of this study was to explore the conditions necessary for the transformation of deformable fungi and to improve the efficiency of future research. We hypothesized that the transformation of a refrigerated fungal nucleus into a deformed body would reveal the time of transformation and the movement of the protoplasm from microscopic observations. We hypothesized that by applying vibration to the deformed bodies, they would become fruiting bodies. It was hypothesized that the nucleus of the mozzifolium fungus could survive for more than 8 years, and that the deformed body would initiate fruiting body formation when the protoplasm was arrested by vibration and the gel and sol sequences were intermingled. -
O-12
Tomojun Murakami (Rakunan High School)New energy for the future that will not be discarded
MORESuccessfully converted hair and feathers into biomethane and hydrogen. The project demonstrated the possibility of effective use of resources that had been disposed of as waste as energy. Broiler feathers, which are discarded, could also be converted into resources, reducing environmental impact and improving energy efficiency. It is expected to contribute to the formation of a recycling-oriented society by reducing waste and increasing the supply of renewable energy. Use the research to propose a city of the future, where local energy can be consumed and produced locally.
Poster Presentation
＜Poster presentation challenge slot (C-01-05)
In order to support more junior and senior high school student researchers, we have newly established the "Poster Presentation Challenge Slot". The Challenge Quota presentations are not subject to poster judging, but they are presentations with sufficient enthusiasm for the subject matter. Through discussions with many visitors, we hope that you will aim to make further progress in your research. We encourage you to actively interact with them.
<Poster Presentations by International Guests (G-01-05)
On the day of the conference, there will be five poster presentations by high school students from the Philippines. Although they are from different countries, we hope that you will actively interact with them as fellow researchers who are passionately engaged in the same research. Although there is no rule for English-language presentations, it might be a good idea to make a little effort to interact with Filipino high school students by writing English titles on your poster materials. Let's take this opportunity to expand our network of research colleagues overseas!
