About
Katsuki Higo is a pioneering researcher in the emerging field of human augmentation and robotics, focusing on how humans perceive and integrate extra robotic limbs into their sense of self. His key research areas include supernumerary robotic limbs, body ownership, and the cognitive neuroscience of augmented bodies. Higo’s major contribution lies in experimentally demonstrating that performing a simple button-touching task with soft supernumerary robotic arms can induce an augmented bodily self—a feeling that the extra limbs belong to one’s own body. This work bridges robotics and psychology, moving beyond virtual reality studies to real-world physical interactions. Though his most-cited paper currently has 1 citation, it represents a foundational step in understanding how humans can accept and control additional body parts, with implications for rehabilitation, prosthetics, and human–robot collaboration. Higo’s research challenges traditional boundaries of the self and opens new avenues for exploring body augmentation in physical environments, making him a notable emerging voice in the field.
