Tiago, a robot with only one arm and a head that resembles E.T. looks for the first time in a mirror. As it might possible happened with the first hominid that looked at his reflection on the water, the robot never saw its mirrored image before. We ask the robot if it is him? Fortunately for Tiago, appearance is not the key information to start answering this basic philosophic question. Who I am?
The robot combines neural networks learning with free-energy optimization to perceive its body. More information at selfception.eu Project.
