Traditionally investigated in philosophy, body ownership and agency-two main components of the minimal self-have recently gained attention from other disciplines, such as brain, cognitive and behavioral sciences, and even robotics and artificial intelligence. In robotics, intuitive human interaction in natural and dynamic environments becomes more and more important, and requires skills such as self-other distinction and an understanding of agency effects. In a previous review article, we investigated studies on mechanisms for the development of motor and cognitive skills in robots (Schillaci et al., 2016). In this review article, we argue that these mechanisms also build the foundation for an understanding of an artificial self. In particular, we look at developmental processes of the minimal self in biological systems, transfer principles of those to the development of an artificial self, and suggest metrics for agency and body ownership in an artificial self.
身体所有权和能动性是最小自我的两个主要组成部分，传统上是在哲学领域进行研究的，最近它们受到了其他学科的关注，如脑科学、认知科学和行为科学，甚至机器人技术和人工智能。在机器人技术中，在自然和动态环境中进行直观的人机交互变得越来越重要，这需要自我与他人区分以及对能动性效应的理解等技能。在之前的一篇综述文章中，我们研究了机器人运动和认知技能发展机制的相关研究（希拉奇等人，2016年）。在这篇综述文章中，我们认为这些机制也为理解人工自我奠定了基础。特别是，我们考察了生物系统中最小自我的发展过程，将这些过程的原理应用于人工自我的发展，并提出了人工自我中能动性和身体所有权的衡量标准。
