abstract = {Current research on artificial consciousness is focused on
phenomenal consciousness and on functional consciousness.
We propose to shift the focus to self-consciousness in order
to open new areas of investigation. We use an existing
scenario where self-consciousness is considered as the result of an evolution of representations. Application of the scenario to the possible build up of a conscious robot also introduces questions relative to emotions in robots. Areas of investigation are proposed as a continuation of this approach.}
