So Kuroki

So Kuroki is a Research Engineer at Sakana AI. So Kuroki was a Project Researcher on robot learning at OMRON SINIC X. He was also working in robotics at Yutaka Matsuo's Lab at The University of Tokyo. So Kuroki had the great opportunity to be mentored by Shixiang Shane Gu and Yujin Tang, Google Brain Team. So Kuroki holds a Bachelor's and Master's degree from the University of Tokyo.

His research interests and experiences strongly align with collective Intelligence (robotics, learning) and AI collaboration with humans (HCI). He loves to see agents become smarter by interacting and sharing their knowledge,  and in the same context, he loves to see AI empower humans through collaboration.
