I think research on evolution can also be used in the future of humankind. Right now, I am investigating trends in crocodilians’ limbs and ecology as well as researching their relationship with dinosaurs. I am also studying the field of biomimetics, which makes use of living things. For example, I will seek new possibilities, picturing not eliminating negatives but turning them to positives, such as by researching ecology and the environment using robots modeled after crocodilians and snakes and making artificial arms and legs adopting the merits of living creatures. In the future, I would like to become someone who can contribute to building a world where humans and other creatures can enjoy living somewhere besides the Earth by combining living organisms and technology.
