Abstract

This article provides an overview of such embodied agents that reason about the body, e.g., self-reconfiguring robots, and of research into recognizing a body part as belonging to one's own body, on the part of robotic agents (vs. animals). More sketchily, we also consider such animated avatars whose movements imitate human body movements, and virtual models of the human body.
