Demonstrations and Research Presentations at BRS2026
Members of the Terutsuki Laboratory participated in the Biohybrid Robotics Symposium 2026 (BRS2026), held at Hotel Chinzanso Tokyo from September 16 to 18, 2026, alongside members of the Akiyama Laboratory.
On September 15, Dr. Chihiro Fukui (JSPS Postdoctoral Fellow) and Reina Omori (second-year master’s student) presented a demonstration at the pre-symposium workshop held at the University of Tokyo’s Hongo Campus. Titled “From Moth-Antenna Drones to Mosquito-Antenna Sensors: Advancing Mobile Biohybrid Olfaction,” the demonstration introduced our laboratory’s research on using insect olfaction for mobile sensing.
During the main symposium, Reina Omori and Dr. Chihiro Fukui each gave a flash presentation and presented a poster on the following research:
- Reina Omori, Chihiro Fukui, Toshiyuki Nakata, Daigo Terutsuki, “A Portable Mosquito Antenna-Based Biohybrid Odor Sensor for Human-Related Odor Detection,” Biohybrid Robotics Symposium 2026, P1-20, Tokyo, September 16, 2026.
- Chihiro Fukui, Reina Omori, Toshiyuki Nakata, Daigo Terutsuki, “Biohybrid Olfactory Robots for Detecting Human-Associated Odor Cues,” Biohybrid Robotics Symposium 2026, P2-22, Tokyo, September 17, 2026.
We also enjoyed visiting Tokyo Skytree and taking a cruise with members of the Akiyama Laboratory. Spending time together beyond the research sessions made the symposium a rewarding and enjoyable experience.
