Professor Yoshida started research into space robotics in 1985 and has participated in various space mission development projects, represented by the engineering test satellite ETS-VII Orihime/Hikoboshi, the asteroid explorer Hayabusa, microsatellite development under university initiative and the Team Hakuto lunar rover project. Since 2022, he has been involved in self-evolving AI robot system development under the Cabinet Office/JST-sponsored MOONSHOT Research & Development program. The concept of the program is "to develop technologies for modular robots that can be assembled and reconfigured by themselves or by other robots" for construction of a manned activity base on the Moon. AI determines the appropriate functions required for the conditions of the construction site. The AI robots are designed to assemble work robots by combining modular components. "The multiple robot systems will carry out tasks to support human activity on the Moon." Professor Yoshida explained, "If components and materials can be sent from the Earth to the Moon in separate packages, transport costs and space can be reduced. We are planning to conduct validation missions within the next several years." When a demonstration video explained that through machine learning AI can learn not only the shapes of components but also the meaning of each movement, gasps of surprise could be heard from the audience, a sign that participants were keenly interested.

Dr. Yoshimi Benno has researched the classification and studied the state of gut micro-flora in the intestines since the 1970s, elucidating how the microbial balance between beneficial and harmful bacteria in the human gut affects the human immune system, overweight and health age. There are more than 1,000 intestinal microbes in the gut. They engage in a wide range of activities that are described as "gut microflora." showed its importance extensively in the 1980s. From 2010, the gut microbiota analysis project started in Japan. Feces sampling kits and questionnaire forms were sent to approximately 20,000 healthy adults 20-70 years old) for the cluster analysis of the collection findings. In 2017, a detailed database was established to identify the correlation between gut microflora composition and lifestyle patterns. Finding from these research activities that gut condition and cognitive decline are correlated, Dr. Benno argues that observation of daily bowel movement is effective as a means to check intestinal conditions. "Ideal bowel movement requires an active intake of dietary fiber and fermented foods, a gut environment in which long-living mycobacteria (bifidobacteria and butyrate-producing bacteria) are dominant and development of muscular strength to defecate." He also stated his belief that "the toilet is a place where we receive messages from our bodies" and dealt with some questions from the audience.
