About
Honoka Yoshida is a rising researcher in the field of human augmentation and embodied cognition, with a focus on how humans integrate and perceive extra robotic limbs as part of their own body. Her work explores the psychological and sensorimotor boundaries of self-recognition, particularly through the use of soft supernumerary robotic arms. In her most-cited paper, "Augmented Bodily Self in Performing a Button-Touching Task with Soft Supernumerary Robotic Arms" (2024), she investigates how users come to experience an artificial limb as their own during real-world, physically interactive tasks—moving beyond the virtual reality paradigms that dominate the field. This research bridges robotics, neuroscience, and experimental psychology, offering new insights into body schema plasticity and the design of wearable augmentation systems. While her citation count is still growing, her work is positioned at the forefront of a transformative area: understanding how technology can extend not just our physical capabilities, but our very sense of self. Yoshida’s contributions are especially relevant for students and researchers interested in human-robot interaction, assistive robotics, and the future of bodily augmentation.
