We take the vocabulary and the main concepts from Piaget?s genetic epistemology and Vygotsky?s activity theory. After proposing an outline for a general developmental architecture, we describe the architectures that we have been developing in the recent years - Petitag{\'e} and Vygovorotsky. According to this outline, various contemporary works in autonomous agents can be classified, in an attempt to get a glimpse into the big picture and make the advances and open problems visible.} }
