First, the elements of interaction dynamics are extracted from conceptual analysis of embodied interaction and its emergence, especially of behavioral imitation. Then three case studies are made, presenting our neural architecture and the robotic experiments on some of the important elements discussed above: self exploration and entrainment, emergent coordination, and categorizing self behavior. Finally we propose that integrating all these elements will be the important step towards realizing the bootstrapping agent envisaged above.
