Abstract
In this review paper we discuss the development of the minimal self in humans, the behavioural measures indicating the presence of different aspects of the minimal self, namely, body ownership and sense of agency, and also discuss robotics research investigating and developing these concepts in artificial agents. We investigate possible avenues for expanding the research in robotics to further explore the development of an artificial minimal self.
