Summary
Naoto Yoshida is a research scientist and Ph.D. candidate based in Kyoto, specializing in symbol emergence, qualia structure, and neural computation for autonomous agents. With 11 years of experience spanning mechanical engineering and information science (master’s from NAIST), he focuses on reinforcement learning theory and behavior design for robotics. He currently investigates how internal motivations drive symbol formation at Kyoto University and the University of Tokyo, blending theoretical ML with embodied robot experiments. Active on GitHub as "Ugoku-Namakemono," he frames himself as a behavior designer for autonomous robots, reflecting a hands-on approach to bridging neuroscience-inspired theory and robotic practice.
